I say this based on two facts:<br /><br />1) The song I'm using is semi-obscure, and...<br />2) the song I'm using doesn't even mention "Summer". The song is more thematic than explicit.<br /><br />Nevertheless, now you've piqued my interest about what song(s) you might be using. Could 'Summertime' by Janis Joplin and/or by Mahalia Jackson be a possibility? (Just asking for "a friend" <b>;^)</b><br /><br />~ D-FensDogGStephen T.

I'll be interested to see what you come up with next.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-7325072637568041872022-06-23T16:03:24.289-07:002022-06-23T16:03:24.289-07:00Not exactly a record-setting turnout (the 'Sum...Not exactly a record-setting turnout (the 'Summer Slowdown' has definitely arrived) but still the outcome was ideal. I loves me them one-vote victories!!<br /><br />I'm pretty sure my next Battle on 7/1 will be a lopsided one, but I'm going to do it anyway. I'm using a song that I thought was a moderate AM radio hit, but to my surprise I've discovered that it didn't even break the Top 40. So, the band will be known by everyone but the song may be "new" to a few.<br /><br />Catch ya again in about a week, Lee.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogGStephen T.

I try to squeeze in a few random post reads but I'm so swamped with everything. My life will eventually slow down sometime this fall.... I hope. :) Thanks for reporting, my friend.

A lot of people are on multiple platforms as well. It's a matter of how much time one wants to spend online. <br /><br />I first discovered k d lang when I was touring in Canada in 1987 and bought a copy of <i>Angel with a Lariat</i>. I was hooked and bought most of her other albums as they came out. Her vocals are perfection.<br /><br />You have a wonderful summer as well.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-31635295443476316882022-06-22T19:31:22.137-07:002022-06-22T19:31:22.137-07:00I think hobby blogging has waned in popularity, wi...I think hobby blogging has waned in popularity, with so many other social media outlets (Instagram, TikTok, etc.) that possibly take a little less effort to sustain. That said, all the writers who blog that I know are still going strong. Glad to know my choice won! kd is a national treasure here in Canada.
