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!

Market Results ( #BOTB Results)

 I've been mulling over whether or not to do Thanksgiving dinner this year.  Maybe I should check with the bank to see if I could take out a loan to finance the groceries.  I mean, really!  Prices are getting ridiculous...


Battle of the Bands Results



What Happened with the Persian Market?

       My recent Battle was a showdown between two jazzed up versions of Ketelby's "In a Persian Market".  The contestants were American jazzman Wilbur de Paris and British popster Acker Bilk with a couple of Dixieland flavored interpretations of the light classical piece.    

      I'm very partial to the classical tinged piece as it was the one I used to hear during the levitation act of the Ken Griffin Magic show which I worked on for a few years.  I enjoy hearing the jazzy versions and after repeated hearings I can go either way depending on my mood.  Why not Acker Bilk?  He really needs the vote more anyway.

     Pretty low turn out for this Battle>>>



Final Vote Count

Wilbur de Paris     6 votes

Acker Bilk             4 votes


Next Battle on December 1st

      That's the plan and I plan to stick to that plan.  Better than sticking to a pan I guess.

  1. It's getting to the holiday season, so a lot of people are busy doing other things I guess.
