Battle of the Bands Result: The Classic Start the Battle Early and Post the Results Late

The Battle was early due to travel and it was either post early or have no battle for January. That would have been bad because after you take a month off, it becomes two and then eventually you just stop. At least that would be in my world. I do the Battle of the Bands because they are enjoyable to create and it is cool to listen to the other participants battles too.

The results are late because I haven't been online as much. One benefit about being offline is that I've been able to read quite a bit. I never thought I would be reading 10 plus books in a month. The downside of not being online is that it makes it hard to blog.



This battle was more experimental than others for me. I based it on a classical piece. The piece is more commonly associated with the piano so the first twist was making it a guitar battle. Then I twisted by competing a classical guitarist against a fully plugged rock legend. I prepared myself for the possibility of blowout like my December battles.  However, there was no blowout this time around. The battle was tight and was decided by the final vote. Michelle from Angels Bark voted for Jimmy Page and he is the winner.

I'll leave you with a live version of the tune...

Battle of the Bands: Early Edition Chopin nylon or electric?

I know the Battles of the Band is supposed to be on the 1st and the 15th. Since I will be out of town on the 15th I am going to post it early. Plus this was one of the few "rules" I haven't broken on the Battle of the Bands.




The piece..

The above is just for reference.
