I really wish I could say that I spent my summer Cathy napping but I can’t. Despite my semi blogging hiatus, the truth is I wasn’t really away from Blogosphere entirely.  I had my nose stuck deep in composing some posts for the rest of the year while keeping up with the Monday’s dance party posts, visits, comments, and replies.

Although, that was plenty to keep me busy, I found time to do things of interest and importance like the overdue old photo scan project. That was a lot of fun to stroll through time reflecting on memories that each picture brought back to mind.  I also enjoyed cooking/baking, doodling, and photo-art creations.  Speaking of which if you missed yesterday’s post, I shared September calendar page I created for my peeps. Feel free to download your copy, below! 😉

I’m really ready for the whole Corona virus to dwindle away so life can go back to normal.  We have been home bodies since the end of March with the exception of doctor appointments and unless there’s a dire need to mix with the masses then we aren’t doing it. I am at risk with my stomach disorders but even if not I really don’t like being sick.

This is my first day to ease back into normal blog life. I’m sure there will be some hiccups but that’ll settle down soon. It’s the beginning of a brand month, so I’m ready to kick things off with my first Battle of the Bands using John Prine’s Summer’s End

I found two unknown artists to me with different recording settings but worth the gamble for a sing-off. First up, a studio recording with an odd still shot.  Focus on the voice, the mewsic, and the way Phoebe Bridgers makes you feel!

 

Next, no distracting video, just a fella in his garage playing guitar and singing. Judging by his YT channel he’s a John Prine fan.  Here’s Silvio Bartolomucci.

 

You’ll find more awesome battles underway at some of these blog listed below and if you’d like to be included in the fun, then contact Stephen requesting to be added to the list.

Polls close noon (EST) on Sept. 7th!

Who gets your vote Phoebe or Silvio?

Next week, same time slot I’ll be back to announce the winner in this round, so be sure to mark your calendar to see if your favorite artist wins in this showdown. Although summer’s end officially doesn’t happen for another three weeks with Labor Day approaching everyone’s mind is on the change in seasons.

It’s time to grab a cup of coffee and follow along with me as I head off to visit Sandee for some Happy Tuesdays giggles at Comedy-Plus, then I’ll check out Random Tuesday Thoughts with Stacy Uncorked, and finishing things up by checking out this week’s word prompt found at Eugi’s Causerie for the wannabe poet buried inside.   That’s a wrap for now but come back tomorrow for Wild Wednesdays where just about anything goes! 😉

X💋X💋, Cathy

Summer fun memory from 1992 for Awww Mondays hosted by Sandee from Comedy Plus.

Welcome to Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me!  This week’s theme is songs about the end of summer.  Living in the south, but thankfully not the deep south, we still have more summer days to go. With the heat and humidity feeling pretty intolerable for a month or more, I for one, am looking forward to the end of summer that is until winter’s frigid chill bites my fingers and toes. Join me now for an all new-to-me song collection and I hope you enjoy the tunes!

I pulled my Summer’s ending song picks from this thread discussion to build today’s playlist which includes these titles:

  1. SUMMER’S END ~ John Prine
  2. THE END OF THE SUMMER ~Frank Black
  3. SUMMER’S END ~ Foo Fighters
  4. LONG HOT SUMMER ~ Girls Aloud
  5. END OF THE SUMMER  ~ Dar Williams

A special thanks to Stacy for pulling together some awesome mewsic themes for August.  Next time, we meet on the dance floor it’ll be a new month with a new honorary co-hostess, little ole me!  I’ll be back tomorrow for my September 1st edition of Battle of the Bands, so please pop over to cast your vote.  Here’s to a boogietastic day, my friends!
