I'm doing this last-minute and without much aforethought. (Absent-minded! ๐Ÿซจ)
Apologies for being late!

Sadly, the music world has lost another icon,
 with the passing of Kris Kristofferson on Sept. 28 at the age of 88. ๐Ÿ˜ข

Yes, it's DINO vs FRANK! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

WELCOME BACK TO BOTB! 
It’s time to announce the results of the Aug. 1st showdown.


This battle featured two female YouTube stars, covering an iconic summer anthem.
Bluesy vs Breezy!

This one went back and forth for a while, but a clear winner soon emerged. I agreed with the majority and chose the bluesy, sexy voice of Sarah Kuri!

SUMMER OF '69 #BOTB RESULTS



WELCOME BACK TO BOTB! 
It’s time to announce the results of the July 1st showdown.


This battle featured Albertans vs Californians

It didn't take long to see who the dominant favourite was here! I was still on a concert high, having seen Nickelback perform last weekend, so of course, I went with Chad & Ryan also. Still, I though Buckcherry did a good job of making it unique to them.

Here’s how it went down:

SUMMER OF '69 #BOTB

WELCOME TO ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF #BOTB!

 July already?! Summer will be over before we know it!

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

The title of this song resonates strongly, since my 'Summer of 69' was pretty epic:
- visited Berlin and London 
July - watched the first moon landing on TV
August - relocated from Germany to Canada

SUNNY AFTERNOON #BOTB RESULTS

WELCOME BACK TO BOTB! 
It’s time to announce the results of the June 1st showdown.


This battle featured an American icon vs a Spanish rock band.

It appeared to be neck and neck at first, but 'Mr. Margaritaville' then pulled ahead. I preferred the 'cool sound' of Sexy Sadie. (Thank you, Nancy!) Oh well...
