Battle of the Bands Result: Counting votes like 1, 2, 3

One

It looked like I was going to have a tie and a shutout for a while. The shutout ended with the last vote so Aaron Neville finally had a vote.

Two

The Soweto Gospel Choir sounded great and they took an early two nothing lead. However, that was the only votes they received.

Three

Nicolette Larson was victorious capturing three votes.

The Celebration

"Lotta Love" was Larson's hit. This duet was her biggest Country hit..

I'll leave you with "Let Me Go, Love"

I'll be back later today with my newest battle!

Battle of the Bands: I Bid You Goodnight

It is a Sunday and a late at night. Sounds perfect for a traditional Bahamian gospel song. It was a song the Grateful Dead added into their repertoire decades ago. You know the drill, vote for the version you like best in the comments. I'm going to have three contenders this go around. I'll even the songs out by omitting the usual reference version.

Contender One: Aaron Neville

Contender Two: Nicolette Larson

Contender Three: Soweto Gospel Choir

I hope you enjoy this Battle of the Bands. I will post the results  in another post and I will have another Battle on the 15th. I am sure I will post a few on the days in between. Until next time I bid you goodnight.

BOTB Results:The Fun Election Results

In this first episode of Battle of the Bands Overtime, I took a song that was featured in a previous Battle of the Bands battle that ended in a tie. The song was "Willin'" by Little Feat. I changed the contestants and this time I had a decisive victory. Linda Ronstadt beat Steve Earle 9 to 2.

So to celebrate here is more Linda..."Blue Bayou"

A nice duet with Aaron Neville..

Her number one hit "You're no good"...

Well I will be back with a new post soon!

A to Z Challenge 2015: A and Battle of the Bands April Fool's Edition

It is a Blog Hopping double helping at my blog today. Today marks the first day of the A to Z Challenge.



I am doing the Battle of the Bands because this is what I would do on any first of the month. I like the blog hop. My blog isn't changing for the A to Z challenge. What you see during the challenge is just how my blog goes.




Since more readers may be popping in it is probably even more important for me to explain what is going on and who else has battles!

Regular rules, listen to the song clips in the blog post. In the comment section vote for the one you like the best. Feel free to explain why you voted the way you did. The battles take place on the first and 15th and winners will be announced on the 7th and 21st. I will normally post the winner in the comments. Of course have fun and enjoy!

The below list is edited to welcome some new battles and unfortunately some battles have taken a break. If you are still looking for more musical fun after you vote, you can check out these sites for more battles:

Today is April 1st sometimes referred to as April Fools Day! April starts with A so it fits with the A to Z: Challenge. 

 J.R. Bailey, Rudy Clark and Ken Williams wrote a song called "Everybody Plays the Fool."  I of course play the fool everyday. I don't have the original song but the contestants will be the first top 40 version of the song and the hit version which I was first introduced to his song. There is a 19 year gap between the two songs.

Contestant One: The Main Ingredient 

Contestant Two: Aaron Neville 

: 
Aaron also starts with an A as well keeping with the A to Z Theme of A.

You vote by leaving your vote in the comments. Thanks so much for visiting my foolish blog! Happy April Fools Day to all and I will see you Thursday with a post dealing with B!

My post will say March 31, but it really is April 1, 2015 and after midnight, So here it goes..
