BOTB January 2025 - Smiling through

 

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. Next, hop on over to see what battles other participants (links located top right column of this page) have posted for us to vote on! Votes will be tallied and the winner revealed on or about 8 days later.

Happy New Year, everyone! I’m getting my year-end party started early (see below), but I’ve set the alarm for midnight so I can witness everyone else’s ;-) I’m looking forward to your battles! It will be interesting to see how everyone throws out the old while embracing the new. Some years are just hard to let go of, kind of like Sweet Caroline. (Other years you just want to drop-kick off a cliff – but that’s for another post – ha!). Still others, according to the Black-eyed Peas, you find yourself infused with such feelings of hope and positivity that you might be as catchy as the song itself!

With that, I present two different songs by two different artists who are sure to have you singing along. But which one keeps you smiling the longest? I’m so determined to smile more this year; it might be my new theme!

Have a wonderful January!

I hope your holiday season is off to a peaceful, happy start.  Thanksgiving here was very enjoyable with good food and great people.  We should have dragged everything outside to enjoy the southern Arizona weather, but there was such a lot of food and at 80 degrees, the weather already had folks shedding outer layers of clothing so we turned the cooler back on and stayed inside ;-)

As I watched the last ones drive away to destinations far and near, I realized how thankful I was for the wonderful time we’d all had together. Since I’m so late getting this out, I’ll not ask you all to vote; just listen. But be on the lookout for my vote on your battle!

And one more of my favorites - for the road!

 

 

Be safe out there, folks! Happy Holidays!
