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!

Obligatory Waste of Time? Or Not? ( #BOTB Results )

 I said I'd do it here so here I am doing it.  I know you've been waiting so here it is!!!



Battle of the Bands Results


Folsom Prison Blues

         This is not my favorite song by a long shot, but I do like it and I'm a long time fan of Johnny Cash.  And again, he's not my favorite artist, but I recognize his place in music history and can appreciate his achievements in field of music.

            My recent contest had three artists performing the well-known Cash hit in three varying styles.  I liked all three versions--that's why I picked them--so I could go with any of them.  But in order to prevent a tie and to give something to every contestant then I'm giving my vote to the oddly named group The Cripple and The Tramp.  So that gives us a winner by a narrow margin.


Final Vote Tally

Slim Harpo                   5 votes

Everlast                         4 votes

Cripple and Tramp       1 vote


Have a nice day/weekend/life...

    Everlast was my choice. BUT no one, no one I tell you, can equal Johnny.

    That's as close as a Battle can get without it becoming a disappointing tie.

    As I recall, you were due for a close one, Lee.

    See ya on the 1st.
