Well, hoot 'n' holler!
Got change for a dollar?
If not, I'll ask Rockefeller.

My 9th, 9th, 9th, 9th, 9th, 9th, 9th, 9th, 9th BATTLE OF THE BANDS' Battle Of The Booze contest took place HERE. It may have been Chihuahua-like, but it warn't no dog!
.
We talked about horse racing; 99-cent Margaritas; me ol' pal, General Poohregard; my dearly missed friend, Martin Brumer; and we also yakked about movies & music. And I thanks each 'n' every one o' youse who came by to listen and vote. It was a nice turnout!
.
After adding in my own vote for Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle (I'm sure my vote came as no surprise to anyone), the BOTB outcome was very much like what I had anticipated:
.
FINAL TALLY:
Tom Waits & Bette Midler = 4 votes
Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle = 9 votes
.
Waits & Gayle will advance to the post-season playoffs round. And on May 15th I expect to return here again for a very high-energy old school-like Rock 'n' Roll contest in the "Rockabilly" style. I hopes all y'all will return here, too!
.
Until then, may you all...
.
Bless & Be Blessed
and Cheech & Chong!

Not a surprising outcome, but at least it wasn't a blowout! Mine was a disaster. 🤯
ReplyDeleteHiYa, DEBBIE! ~
DeleteActually, to my way of thinking, any Battle that ends with a five-vote or greater differential between the winner and loser is officially a blowout. So, unfortunately, I do consider this Battle to have been a blowout. But I actually expected it, and... I've had worse! :^D
I think my next contest on May 15th may be a pretty tight race.
Now, I'm off to check up on your self-proclaimed "disaster".

Good battle, Stephen T! I love it when the side I go for wins ;-)
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it, you were quite chatty this go around. I was real sorry to hear about your buddy Martin. Nonetheless, we all (I'm sure) enjoy your stories of life and friendships - Oh! and music and drinking ;-)
Rockabilly, huh? I'm definitely coming back for that. Not sure I can scrape a post together for me, though. Happy springtime!

No, no. I was yakky, not chatty. Real Men don't chat, they yak.
>>... "your stories of life and friendships - Oh! and music and drinking"
Wait 'til we get to my July 1st Battle. I got a goot story for *that* one!
I know quite a lot of music, but I know even mo' 'bout drinkin'.

Aw, no harm intended. "Chatty" just flowed better than "conversed" - or even "Yak", like what the cat does behind the sofa ;-)
DeleteHa! It must be a male cat. ;^)

Well, that's the outcome I wanted. Crystal is a lot better looking than Bette and I like her better too.
ReplyDeleteYour outcome ratio was very similar to my own.

DeleteThis certainly wasn't a competitive Battle, but I figured it wouldn't be, so it doesn't leave me disappointed. I liked the concept behind this Battle too much to pass on it, even though I was pert-dern sure how it would turn out. (My Brother's vote, however, came as a real shocker to me. So that was interesting.)
