I bet I that's why you didn't know who I was at first but that email probably gave you a hint. :) Gee, I'm glad it wasn't anything embarrassing. I can't tell you the number of times I've sent a text to one of my children even someone I barely know that was meant to go to DH. Let's just I got lucky! lol Well...I did send a text to one of my children's friends (a man) thinking it was going to one of my kids and I referred to the recipient as 'Sweetie'. Oh boy, was I all red-faced when he replied wrong person! I think I need to have my head checked or stop the multi-tasking because I don't do it very well. My battle results will go live on Monday morning. Have a good weekend, my friend!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-60463422895097242822018-09-21T09:24:33.548-07:002018-09-21T09:24:33.548-07:00RO, Happy would equate with showmanship in my book...RO, Happy would equate with showmanship in my book.

Except I rarely take chances in love. I learned a long time ago that my heart is just too fragile for that stuff. I guess the biggest chance I've ever taken was leaving a solid and successful career to open a bar, a business I had no real experience in other than being on the other side of one...<br />Fortunately it paid off and it was a lot of fun for a few years...until I got bored and moved onto something else. You've heard my story before so no need to go into it. But I'm pretty sure that was the biggest risk I ever took.<br /><br />As for your battle: I really like both versions. Although I'm not well-versed in all things Dinah Shore, June Christy reminds me of her. I liked her vocals but I more appreciated the band. That was some groovy swing, especially the cello. I love a cello! The folks playing cello always seem to really dig playing it. And I think there was a clarinet. I'm not up on identifying all instruments but I'm pretty sure it was a clarinet. <br /><br />I enjoyed the Ethel Waters version. Her vocals were nice and it appeared that she really enjoyed singing the song. I more enjoyed the dance numbers. <br /><br />In the end, my vote is going to June Christy.<br />This was a nice way to start my morning...<br />Have a good weekend,<br /><br />Michele at <a href="http://angelsbark.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Angels Bark</a> Michele at Angels Bark https://www.blogger.com/profile/15891713963440451090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-85093316593971931342018-09-20T08:50:41.094-07:002018-09-20T08:50:41.094-07:00Loni, I'm going back and forth on this one.

So often it doesn't work out as hoped. I've found this out a couple times now. <br /><br />I'm still plagued by the voices of fear of failure and self-doubt.

Hmmm, who knows what happened but I'm glad I kept my word in my absent comment to come back to respond to your questions posed but first let me to vote again. :) I'm going with <b>June Christy</b> in this battle. Her contender did a great job but I over prefer Christy's vocals. <br /><br />Now for your questions....<br /><br /><i>What was the biggest chance you ever took?</i> I don't know that I thought about it being the biggest chance ever but I guess in retrospect it was and that's getting married. I knew from the beginning DH is my soulmate and our commitment has been very solid from the start (1979). But, we were also very, very young. He was a month short of his 20th birthday and I was just 17.5 years old. We were babies with so much more learning and growing to go but thankfully, we did it together. It could've gone the other way like so many others but God kept held us together like glue. He deserves all the credit because I know it's nothing special that we did other than keeping Him at the center of our world.<br /><br /><i>When did you fully expect success only to be countered with not-so-successful outcomes?</i> I'd have to say raising kids. I thought for sure I'd do everything more superior than anyone else but parenting isn't a foolproof thing and it's definitely a trial by fire experience. You can instruct your children how to live but once they begin exercising their opinions and implementing their will then everything you teach them tend to go right out the window. That's when anyone of us feel like we're not successful. That's where I am the last few years, watching from the side life biting my kids' rear because they refused to heed advice. I think in time things will shape up better. It's just getting to that point that breaks a mother's heart.<br /><br /><i>How much do the outside voices hinder the inner voice of your dreams?</i> I think I hinder myself more than others, especially when I was younger. Self-doubting and fear of failure are two dream crushers. Wouldn't it be grand to sweep these flaws out of your life? <br /><br />I'm sorry for the slow return visit. Being away on the weekend from Blogosphere and then having appointments all day yesterday has me running about like a chicken without a head more so than usual. Anywho, thanks for joining me on Saturday. Have a grand week, my friend!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-38634803887088035802018-09-17T20:09:47.207-07:002018-09-17T20:09:47.207-07:00Darla, thank you for giving us your vote...
