SEPTEMBER GRASS #BOTB RESULTS (FINALLY!)

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

This battle featured two unknown entertainers,
Scott Alan from Cleveland and Jeff Towle from Minnesota.

I was felled by a nasty stomach virus, which included a fever and vision problems, so I haven't been online much and didn't respond to your comments. I did read them (thanks for the compliment, Stephen 😀) and thank you for participating! 

Most of you preferred the light and breezy style of Scott Alan, but I'm going to join the minority and go with the more solemn Jeff Towle. 

Here’s how it went down:

September already?!
Sad to see the end of summer approaching...

AUGUST MOON #BOTB RESULTS

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

Apologies for any confusion! I had to delete the previously published post as it created some major technical glitches on the blog site, due to incorrect formatting.

 

This battle featured two different flamenco instrumentals by accomplished guitarists Ottmar Liebert and Armik Dashchi

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

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

Here’s how it went down:

JULY #BOTB RESULTS

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

This battle featured two relatively unknown male vocalists, Micky from the UK,
 and Finnian from Australia, covering a Noah Cyrus (Miley's little sister) tune.

It was a tough choice for many of us, me included. Both versions were excellent and I had to listen a couple of times. In the end, Micky's rough-hewn vocals resonated more.

HERE'S HOW IT WENT DOWN:

RAINY DAY IN JUNE #BOTB RESULTS

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

This battle featured an international cast of artists:
Gene Pierson (born in Italy, famous in Oceania) & Clas Yngström, a Swedish composer.

The turnout was slightly better this month, but still fairly sparse. Oh well, summer weather beckons...

Time slipped away from me as well, and I must apologize for not responding to the voting comments, or getting the results in on time. 

Most of you preferred Clas' version, as did I. Gene captured the spirit of The Kinks' song well, and the thunder was a nice touch, but I cannot resist great guitar riffs and Clas had plenty of those! 🔥🎸🔥

#BOTB JUNE 1ST PREVIEW

Summer's coming, and I'm getting excited about the next Battle of the Bands!

Here's a sneak preview of what you can expect on June 1st. Can you guess which song and the artists featured?

FIRST OF MAY #BOTB RESULTS

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

This battle featured Mari Wilson vs Cilla Black, two fabulous British singers.

The turnout was even more sparse than last time, which is disappointing. 😢 Here's hoping for better results next month!

Most of you preferred Cilla's version, as did I. The original Bee Gees song holds many special memories for me. I have a hard time accepting any covers, but Cilla captured the spirit it of it, so I had to choose her. Not that Mari didn't do a great job, too!
