This blog spot is the home to my ramblings. I am a free lance writer. Most of my work goes on Associated Content. Sometimes I write what is on my mind, sometimes I plug some of my writing, and sometimes a combination of the two. So, sit back read, enjoy, and we will see where it goes.
Back for another round of the Battle of the Bands, however I will be changing to once a month on the first going forward. Anyway the heat is in full effect where I am, it is summer time so the song Summer in the City" sounds appropriate.
The original The Lovin' Spoonful...
The format I find the original for a reference, then I find two cover versions. You vote on what cover you like the best in the comments. I announce a winner in a new post in a week or so.
Contender One: Joe Cocker
Contender Two: The Drifters
Tell me which one you liked the best Joe Cocker or The Drifters? Thanks for visiting and I will see you soon!
I am keeping my Battle of the Bands posts separate from my A to Z posts this year. This one certainly compliments my A to Z theme. This time I move genres from jazz to early Rock and Roll. Maybe it is my April Fools prank for this year, but I am changing up the Battle of the Bands format this go around. Instead of sharing the original and two challengers I am going to go with the original versus the famous version. Most of us are doing the other challenge anyway so this one will be short and sweet.
Contender One: The Original
Bobby Charles "Later, Alligator"
Contender Two: The Famous One
Bill Haley and his Comets
I may have some new readers so I will briefly go over how this works. You listen to both songs and you tell me which one you like the best in the comments. In a week or so I count up the votes (your comments) like kids counting Easter Eggs and announce the winner in another post. It is easy and hopefully fun!
Interesting tidbit the title of the song changes a bit on the first one it is "Later, Alligator" and on the second one it is "See You Later, Alligator."

I missed last weeks 4m! Life happened and it ended up being a really good day. Filled with adventure, sun, rainbows, a boat and a few friends. Anyway I am back for this round. This week's theme is "TV/Movie themes specifically from my childhood." Let me get into my secret time machine and travel way back in time.
I'll start off with my childhood forbidden fruit "Baa Baa Black Sheep"..
My Mom wouldn't let me watch this show and I tried hard to wheel and deal to watch it. I think some of it may have been the air time was past my bed time.
I have plenty of memories of watching westerns with my Grandparents...
"Rawhide" was one of my favorites..
I did watch children's show like "Mr Rogers"
I hope you enjoyed your visit to my back pages of my old TV guide.
