Dec. 15th ~ Sing We now of Christmas

WELCOME TO BATTLE OF THE BANDS!! aka, "BOTB".


A big shout out, and thank you to our blog hosts:

FAE

Stephen T. McCarthy

We feature two different recordings of the same song. Listen to both, and then vote for the song version you like the best.  Feel free to leave me a comment, along with your vote. 

Our battles take place twice a month ~ on the 1st and 15th. The results come six days later ~ on the 7th and 21st. That's when I return, add all of the votes, including mine, and announce the winner. Feel free to return and see if your choice won!

If you would like to listen, and vote in other battles, please see the participant list in the right hand margin. If you would like to join this bi-monthly blog-event, visit the blog host, Stephen T. McCarthy. Leave him a message, and your blog address. We would love to have you participate.

Please excuse my lateness in posting a battle. It was almost cancelled due to personal, ongoing issues. I won't take time to explain now... maybe later in the month... I have some decisions to make.

Meanwhile, I hope everyone will have a peaceful holiday!

"Sing we Now of Christmas." was written by Bernard de la Monnoye in 1957 in Burgundy, France. Today I will explore the world of musical instrumentals again. Here are my challengers:

1 - Damon Criswell : American composer for film and television. This link to see some of his work.

2  - Purdue University Bell Choir : The university tours with a large group of students. This group is responsible for the bells.

Thank you for stopping by to vote!
