Before I get into my regular scheduled post, I want to take a moment to call to y’alls attention that our good friend, Mary from Jingle Jangle Jungle, is in the hospital. Hopefully, she’ll get to go home soon but I know that anything as of you. Here’s what I know, after celebrating being cancer-free (endometrial) for five years last month, Mary found herself passing out at home due to hemorrhaging. Somehow, she managed to dial 911. The short of it is, her cancer has returned and she’s fighting this beast with everything she’s got. She tells me they think they got the bleeding stopped but there is a mass hiding behind her bladder and there’s a pair of suspicious lymph nodes. She doesn’t know the stage of cancer but it’s related to endometrial/uterine cancer. I know many of you like me talk to the Lord on a daily basis, so let’s do a lot of talking to Him on Mary’s behalf to bring restore her back to health and to rid her body of this disease. I’m sending lots of love and hugs to you, dear friend!
I almost goofed big time by not having a mid-month Battle of the Bands but thankfully I noticed before any damage done with no worries to scurry to get something together at the last second.
Not knowing what song to use as luck would have it I noticed a song cover in YouTube the day I composed this post and wondered what other cover artists singing today’s featured song, Mr. Blue Sky written and produced by ELO frontman, Jeff Lynne, the year DH graduated high school 1977.
My first contender is the one that got my brain gears working, Postmodern Jukebox ft. Allison Young!
Wanting to apples and apples competing in this round, I looked for another female artist and that’s when I stumbled on Pomplamoose with lead singer Nataly Dawn.
Who gets your vote, Alison or Nataly?
Check back a week from today to see which gal takes the win in the Mr. Blue Sky showdown and don’t forget POLLS CLOSE AT 12:00PM (EST) ON THE 21ST!
