This is DH off Friday. It’s also a holiday weekend so I get an extra day with him on Monday, so I am MIA in Blogosphere, folks. Don’t let that stop ya, though. I’ll get around to visiting everyone. You’re in luck today this is a two-for-one post with your weekly giggles and mid-February round of Battle of the Bands!
I came up with today’s song choice several months ago and decided to use it for the month of love. Sure Valentine’s Day was yesterday but I’m running with the theme still using an oldie “Muskrat Candlelight” written & recorded by Willis Alan Ramsey in 1972.
Honestly, I do not remember ever hearing the original and didn’t know that ‘candlelight’ was part of the song title. There aren’t a lot of covers of this oldie and the song title change with the first cover artist in 1973 which you’ll get a chance to hear in a sec. I think in this showdown it’s going to be a matter of which version you grew up listening to sway your voting opinion.
For those of you who are a few years older, then you’re more than likely to remember my first candidate America
Going up against them is the 70s pop sensation and the ones I remember the best singing this song. Give it up for Captain & Tennille!
**Voting period ends 12 pm EST Feb. 21st**
