I've spent the past two days at the dentist. I was just waiting for my wife the first day because due to a misunderstanding on my part I scheduled my appointment for today (Tuesday) so I went back twice. My appointment was a longer waiting than I had anticipated, but a short time for the procedure itself. Now two more appointments to address the toothache I've been having the past few weeks.
I can't really afford this work, but the pain had to be addressed and then I'll figure out what to do next. There is so much more to do. If I had the means I could probably have standing weekly appointment until everything is taken care of. Seems like it at least. The reality is that a good dentist can take care of a lot of issues in a relatively short time. Next time I go I might consider wearing one of those adult diapers if you know what I'm talking about. All in all I'd rather not go to have dental work done, but I don't want to have tooth pain so what else can I do?
But let's get down to the business now overdue. Battle of the Band results. My previous Battle was a showdown between wacky musicians Frank Zappa and Spike Jones. Several voters did so with little enthusiasm. I guess they just need to listen more to appreciate these artists, both whom I think are great.
When I was a kid, my parents had a wonderful RCA compilation album on vinyl that had among its many great numbers "Cocktails for Two" as performed by Spike Jones and his zany orchestra. I was always thrilled when I saw them on TV. I even composed my own Spike Jones tribute when I was learning to write music. It wasn't very good, but at least I did my effort of showing my fandom for the artist.
When Zappa came along years later, I was immediately captivated by the music. I've listened to Zappa albums throughout the years and have several of his CDs on my shelves. Spike is certainly fun and a music pioneer, but in this Battle I vote for Zappa by a narrow margin.
So I'm happy with my outcome. Thanks to all who voted!
Final Voting Results
Frank Zappa 7 votes
Spike Jones 7 votes
