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!

Lost in a Fog--hat ( #BOTB Results )

 Lost in a fog, I couldn't see beyond my hat.  My blood ran cold when I saw the outcome of the Battle at hand.  I didn't see it coming, but it all stands to reason in the final analysis I suppose...


Battle of the Bands Results



           The results of my most recent Battle were not quite what I expected, but that is often the case in these Battle of the Bands episodes.  The showdown was between two contemporaries of the late sixties and early seventies--Cold Blood and Foghat.  I was so  taken in by the epic jazz/blues/rock big band sound of Cold Blood that I was certain they would garner more votes than they did.  However it was that outright rocking sound of Foghat that won the voters over.   They also had the bigger hit with the song and therefore the more recognition so it probably stands to reason that they would have won this Battle.

         As I signaled in my initial Battle post, I had been greatly impacted by the Cold Blood recording when I first heard it so that this was the version I chose for my vote.  I was joined only by John Holton who recognized the powerful vocal work of Linda Pense.  Everyone else jumped on the Foghat train.  Not really a bad way to vote though.  I liked Foghat's version too.  I just preferred what Cold Blood did with the song.

        But that's the way things go in Battle of the Bands...


Final Vote Tally

Cold Blood            2 votes

Foghat                   8 votes


Next Battle of the Bands on Tuesday March 1st

       I'll be combining that Battle post with my post for the Insecure Writer's Support Group.  The day will be here before you know it.  Unless you're paying attention to such things which you probably do.  Why wouldn't you?

    1. Susan K. I was mostly surprised that Cold Blood didn't get at least a couple more votes.

  3. There WILL be blowouts!

    I'm certain my next Battle on March 1st will also be a blowout. I just hope it doesn't turn into my very first shutout. I don't mind blowouts so much, but I HATE ties, and a shutout would probably make me weep.

    1. STMcC, I'll be curious to see how mine turns out too. I'm thinking one way, but I'm wrong a lot.
