Betty and I had a nice anniversary celebration and now we're ready for a quiet Christmas. It's probably going to be quiet. Nothing on the schedule at least. And now for Battle results...
Battle of the Bands Results
Anniversary Songs
Most recently I had a showdown between Al Jolson's "Anniversary Song" and Little River Band's "Happy Anniversary". As one might expect, the more modern LRB tune got more votes, but old Al didn't do too badly.
Betty went for Al Jolson's song as did I. It's kind of like one of "our songs" as might be said. I've been a big Jolson fan since I was about 9 or so when I saw the film The Jolson Story. I still rank it as one of my favorite films.
When I was on the road in the eighties LRB's greatest hits cassette was one of the albums I had highest on my playlist. Spent many a night drive listening to that music. There's not a bad song on that album in my opinion.
Still, I'm going with Al Jolson.
Final Vote Tally
Al Jolson 6 votes
Little River Band 10 votes
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I plan to be back on January 1 with a new Battle of the Bands. Everyone have a fun and safe holiday time.
