I believe he's one of the most underrated musicians and songwriters of all time. Some of his solo music is very ELO-esque with its classical influences.

Somehow this one has eluded my ears until now. Gas is expensive. I'm sorry you won't be able to come east this year. We're hoping to go to New England late summer. This will be first 'real' vacation in 22-years. I'm excited!

I didn't know any of the songs, even when I thought that I might with your BOTB winner and my pick but I didn't. It was a great battle and you had a good turn out for it, too. <br /><br />It's hard to believe to imagine when the next BOTB rolls around for both of us that it'll be June with summer drawing all the closer. This week's temperature is forecast to be sunny and warm. It's gonna feel like summer. Take care good friend and have a fantastic week!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-32645768655255303502022-05-08T21:30:02.124-07:002022-05-08T21:30:02.124-07:00STMcC, not sure what I'll come up with for nex...STMcC, not sure what I'll come up with for next Battle.

I was on time for a change.<br /><br />That was a good and very competitive Battle, LEE. Two bands tied, and only a 3-vote differential between the top and bottom. I'd be pleased if ALL my Battles were always that tight.<br /><br />I enjoy doing themed Battles, even more so than the traditional form of BOTB (two different renditions of the same song). But I always like to mix it up, which keeps it interesting for me.<br /><br />My last two BOTB installments have ended in ties. So I'm thinking my June 1st contest needs to be a bit more lopsided -- but not <i><b>too</i></b> lopsided! I want a winner but not a blowout. (Creating BOTB match-ups is not a science but there's definitely an art to it.)<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents BATTLE OF THE BANDS</a></b><br />Stephen T.
