OCTOBER SKIES #BOTB RESULTS

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

This battle featured two different  instrumental versions by unknown artists of a Mumford & Sons tune. 

At first, it looked like a shutout in the making, with Guitar getting all the votes. Then, a few for Piano trickled in.

I thought both versions were excellent and had to listen a couple of times. In the end, as much as I love guitar music (and I do!), it was the piano that made me feel the emotion of the song. The guitar was a bit too languid, in my opinion.

Here’s how it went down:

I thought both versions were excellent and had to listen a couple of times. In the end, Armik's dramatic flair resonated more.
