Battle of the Bands: Results with an Asterisk

   Do we have a tie? Do we have a decision? Do we apply an asterisk? We have controversy! Were the Russians involved (Not that I would care. Heck they are more than welcome the votes!)  Where is Geraldo Rivera? 

If it's rule a tie I can't do overtime. Hard pressed to find two more decent covers and the length of the tune.

John went with Henrik and Arlee went with Gary. Cathy casted for Henrik. Then Stephen the co-founder of this crazy bloghop, an overall great man, and a notorious double voting outlaw came and voted for Gary Moore. He also casted a guest vote from Judge Al Bondigas also for Gary. The Honorable Judge is also apparently Stephen's brother. I'll leave this up to Geraldo! A Judge has connections, could tie my life in litigation, drive me bankruptcy in legal fees. Geraldo could solve everything by finding a vault by the legendary Gangster of Love Steve Miller. Inside said vault is all the votes from people who visit and don't leave a vote. But alas the vault would be empty but I could "take the money and run" with Geraldo.

See how crazy this world has gotten when the writing goes from Stephen, a Judge, Geraldo and Steve Miller. 

Birgit voted for Gary Moore. Talking about outlaws,  Sixgun McItchyfinger was next calling for the Postmaster General to investigate the shady votes from Stephen. He voted for Henrik. Perhaps it could be decided by a duel. A safe duel where safety is first. Maybe rubber band guns used with proper safety glasses. Social distanced wearing the dang mask.  

So Gary Moore wins this one by one more vote! What a great battle almost closer than I tie. The great late Gary Moore wins with an asterisk.

                                              He "Still Got the Blues"


Probably that darn asterisk!

He was "Waiting in the Wings"



I will leave you with this song..


Come back September for more fun! Of course any hard times, kidding is all in good fun, without Stephen you probably wouldn't be reading this!

Battle of the Bands: The Messiah Will Come Again

 If you don't like long, guitar tunes you might want to skip my battle this time around.  If you can only listen to one, listen to the one by the original artist it is a masterpiece.  Now if you like long guitar pieces you have found the right battle. The tune is from Roy Buchanan who died on August 14, 1988.  If you can make it through the tunes please vote in the comments.

Roy's version:


Alright you vote for the one you like between the two contenders.

Contender One: Henrik Freischlader



Contender Two: Gary Moore


A song by one of the best guitarists you might not of heard of with his song performed by someone famous and a lesser known artist. Enjoy the battle see you soon!

Happy Birthday Jack Bruce!

Jack Bruce the legendary bass player for Cream turns 70 today. Along the way he had a successful solo career and worked on a few other projects. I was fortunate to see him with Ringo Starr.

I'll save Cream for last since he did other things in his career. This band was very Cream like..featuring Ginger Baker and guitarist Gary Moore....



Here is vintage Jack Bruce with Buddy Guy...that would have been fun to have seen!
