BOTB Dec 15th 2023 Because it's Christmas

 

Hey, hi! Glad you stopped by ;-)

The Battle of The Bands (BOTB) is your basic Which-do-you-like-best contest where the one that gets the most votes wins. All you have to do is show up (the 1^st and/or 15^th of every month) give a listen and cast your vote in the comment section. Votes will be tallied and the winner revealed on or about 8 days later.

This is officially a Special Edition since I don't usually post twice a month. But hey, it's Christmas!

First up: A song my daughter introduced me to a week or so ago. I'm glad to know artists are still coming up with new holiday songs ;-)

 

Next up: A song I can honestly say I hadn't heard before, don't know how or why, but I'm glad I ran across it. It's fast becoming a favorite. 

 And, because we should have at least a little tradition going on, here's a golden oldie crowd-pleaser for all of us "birds of a feather."

There you have it, folks! Which do you like best? And how come? Let me know in the comment section below. Oh! And, before you go, hop around and see the rest of today’s battles (participating sites are located in the top right sidebar of this page)

Many thanks to all of you who came around and voted in my For the Birds Battle. This outcome was as surprising as the last, but in a more positive way. It was not a shutout; no one was left pecking the ground dejectedly ;-) Here’s how it all went down:

Merry Christmas, everyone! I'll see ya back here next year as long as they can keep a plug in the jug down south of common sense.

In keeping with my zany “For the Birds” theme, I’ve chosen a couple of light-hearted songs by artists/bands you may not have heard of to compete in today’s battle.

First up, a song written by Pat McManus and Woody Bomer called Christmas Is for the Birds was first released in 1994 on Conway Twitty’s Christmas album for kids. He is accompanied by his granddaughter “Twitty Bird”

 

Next up, a group of fifth-grade teachers perform an original version of a classic centuries-old song about 23 birds, among other things, for Christmas called The Twelve Days of Christmas.

 

Lastly, just a really pretty song I thought you might enjoy, called The Gift, by Canadian pop and Celtic music singer Aselin Debison, whose singing career began at age nine at a rally in her hometown of Nova Scotia
