My 11/15/2024 Battle Of The Bands contest took place HERE and it was between Jim Stafford's song 'Your Bulldog Drinks Champagne' and Todd Snider's 'Ballad Of The Devil's Backbone Tavern' (two versions - studio and live recording).
.
It was a disappointingly poor turnout, but most of those folks who DID show up to vote (and I very sincerely thank those of you who did) said that they enjoyed all 3 recordings. Yip! Same here. If the BOTB contest had simply been Stafford's song versus Snider's studio recording, I'd have voted for the staggering bulldog. But I find the live version of Snider's song so laugh-out-loud funny that my vote went to it.
.
FINAL TALLY:
Jim Stafford = 0 votes
Todd Snider (studio version) = 4 votes
Todd Snider (live version) = 5 votes
.
Well, I hope more voters will show up for my December 1st Battle. I don't normally announce in advance what my next planned BOTB installment will be, but this time I WILL reveal it beforehand: Dec. 1st will find Frank Sinatra in the ring with Simon & Garfunkel. Until then, may you all...
.
Bless & Be Blessed!!

Whoa! Alas, Poor Stafford!
ReplyDeleteHe is a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy, who deserved a more becoming fate.

I'm kind of surprised that Stafford didn't get at least one vote seeing as how he was the more known entity.
ReplyDeleteHope we get better turnouts for our next Battles. Mine was 1 more vote than yours and I thought it was a bad turnout. But that's blogging these days I guess.
Happy Thanksgiving!

DeleteWhen I don't even get double digits in voter participation (counting my own vote), it leaves me discouraged about the future of BOTB.
It will need to improve in my two remaining Battles of 2024 or there likely won't even be a 'Battle Of The Booze' post-season playoff series in 2025.
