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.

- Cherdo on the Flipside
- The Doglady’s Den (Debbie)
- Jingle Jangle Jungle (Mary)
- Mike’s Ramblings
- Storms & Stardust (Kim)
- STMcC Presents BoTB (Stephen, BoTB Manager)

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
