#ReidJamieson VS #Adam&Adam in #SteveMillerBand ‘Winter Time’ #coverband Showdown. #BoTB

Hello, Kittens & Dawgs!  The weekend is here but I’m not here.  Well…you know me I’m spending it with DH.  Yesterday was my birthday 🎶HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me🎶 which is doubly nice since it’s also DH’s off Friday. YAY!!!  Anyhow,  this is a scheduled post. I’ll get to each of y’all at the start of the week. 😘

In the middle of July with things all heated up I planned this battle.  I wasn’t sure what song to use, except I was fairly certain I did not want to use a Christmas tune with December being the 4M month to rock to Christmas mewsic.  I knew I’d find the one as soon as it snagged my ear.  In this case, it happened to be one I wasn’t familiar with from the year DH graduated high school (1977) by The Steve Miller Band.  This is one of those groups I don’t recall from back in the day and introduced to by one of you guys.  I’d love to give credit where credit is due, so please tell me which of you guys told me about him.  It’s actually quite purrrty.  It’s not officially winter yet but it’s close enough. Listen to Winter Time for reference if you’d like but remember this one isn’t part of the showdown. Any votes given to SMB will be tossed out.

My job was made easy as there’s only a handful of covers of this song.  I don’t know if that’s a good thing but here goes nothin’!  Second-Hand Music offered only two vocal covers, one didn’t move me quite as much as the other and so I went with Reid Jamieson for my first candidate in today’s showdown. Please listen to Reid!

I discovered my next candidate on YT in my quest to find other cover artists.   The pickings are slim.  Adam & Adam performs an all-instrumental version of SMB’s original.  May I have your attention one more time for you to listen to Adam & Adam.

Perhaps, it’s not fair to pit vocal mewsical arrangement against an all-mewsic composition but that’s the way this battle lead me.
