This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2024 the theme is a personal retrospective that I call "I Coulda Been" which is in reference to my job and career arc over my lifetime. I'll be looking at all sorts of occupations that I have done or could have done. Maybe you've done some of these too!

Results, Results ( #BOTB Results )

 

I got my first injection of COVID vaccine last week.  So far no weird complications have developed and all seems to be normal.  Next infection--I mean injection comes in April.  Right in the middle of Blogging from A to Z April Challenge!





 Battle of the Bands Results



        This latest Battle featured the Cole Porter song "I've Got You Under My Skin" with versions by Frank Sinatra and the duo of Louis Prima and Keely Smith.   It seemed probable that Sinatra would win, but I thought there might be a few more voting for the duo like I did along with John Holton.  But it was an overwhelming decision in favor of Frank.

        It's quite possible that Louis and Keely's version was the first I'd ever heard of this song.  My parents had the album and it was among my favorites.  And I had kind of a kid crush on Keely Smith.  It might have been interesting to see how The Four Seasons' version would have ranked against Frank since a few voters mention them in their comments.


Final Vote Tally

Frank Sinatra                          16 votes

Louis Prima/ Keely Smith       2 votes


Next Battle of the Bands on Thursday April 1st

        That's when that Alphabet Challenge thing also starts.  So we'll have a convergence of events next time, but seems like I always do.  That's me juggling I guess.

    Lee,

    I'm glad you're doing well from your first vaccine injection. DH was telling me yesterday that even if you get the shot(s) that they are advising folks to still wear multiple masks and social distance. It sounds like the vaccine isn't enough to fight the virus. *sigh*

    Frank Sinatra really did win big, didn't he? But, we knew that he would,didn't we?

    We have a few appointments next month so I'll be jumping extra hoops,too. Of course, none of my appointments should interfere with the way I feel. I hope your next injection doesn't give you any grief.

    Thanks for checking the results of my last battle and I'll be seeing you for the A2Z Challenge if not sooner, my friend.

    Glad there were no complications. I had none with either first or second. I really have to get myself in gear for the A to Z. It is coming faster and faster.
