I can barely keep up with a post every now and then, let alone actually writing every day (which I used to do, believe it or not). <br /><br />Give my vote to Chrissie/The Pretenders - I think that version was awesome, and I had no idea they'd done a cover. <br /><br />As for an angel-themed song?

Do with it as you please. <br /><br />Funny that I never even thought about using that one as a "real" BOTB installment on my blog. I only came up with it because of your "angel" word prompt and then my mind started pulling up angel songs.<br /><br />But with this one, the versions are so different (yet both good) and by two famous artists, that I got the idea to post 'em both as a BOTB kinda thang.<br /><br />Seems to me that it would make a pretty nice "REAL" BOTB contest. Have fun wid it. (Never occurred to me that I might someday have to actually vote on this match-up.)<br /><br />Yeah, as I kid I did plenty of roller skating too. Not in roller skating rinks (although we had them) but just on the streets.<br /><br />In later years, during their early twenties, Nappy and a couple of the other League Of Soul Crusaders got back into skating with real fancy, expensive roller skates. They used to skate on the Venice Beach boardwalk on Saturdays and Sundays, while enjoying the free freak show.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogGStephen T.

If no one votes on this mini-BoTB, I'm hijacking it for future use. <br /><br />Just thinking about roller skating makes me smile. I did most of my skating before I was 16 (and driving). Skating around the roller rink was one of the most freeing times of my youth. When I was a kid it was riding a bike. But as a pre-teen and teen, it was roller skating.

I've never heard a version that didn't tear me up. (Funny aside- when I was little and the original was on the charts, I thought it was about a nun doing that-which-nuns-should-not-do.)<br /><br /><br />And Skeeter? That's like two grand slams for me! At that same age, I had a big crush on her. God, that was almost a half-century ago....<br /><br />If I could have the Pretenders drum track on Skeeters vocals, that'd be about perfect. I'll vote for Skeeter.<br /><br />And for the keyword, how about this one? Counting Crows is one of my faves, and even if this particular song isn't, it's still pretty good...<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO3kWNHyZOECWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-19103423101721607752016-04-01T18:09:08.937-04:002016-04-01T18:09:08.937-04:00Sadly I have no sound but I always liked the Rod S...Sadly I have no sound but I always liked the Rod Stewart song, Angel, which I think was actually written by Jimi Hendrix.mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-46436023036324152832016-04-01T17:22:21.158-04:002016-04-01T17:22:21.158-04:00I'm going with the Skeeter Davis version.
