Battle of the Bands ~ Delicious Surprise

Before I get down to the battle, I want to let you know some Big News...

I'm going back to camp!!! Yep, you read that right. Remember my post of not so long ago about the camp I grew up at (the song was Linger)? Well, I decided to go back and see how I did with it. I'm not going to have internet for three weeks. Well, I might be able to do some quick stuff on the weekends, but largely I'm going to be Unplugged until August.

If you've ever been to camp then you know the BEST time of the day is when mail is delivered. I plan on taking stationery (I know I have some!) with me to reply to letters. That said, since I will be missing your blogs sorely, I hope that you'll consider writing to me. (If you are out of ideas on what to say you can print off your blog and send it.) I think we all need to write more letters. Seriously. I really do think that! Anyway, from July 8 until August 1, you can write to me here:

Robin Richards aka Mergan
Stony Glen Camp
5300 W. Loveland Rd
Madison, OH 44057

What is a Mergan? It's short for merganser, as in duck. One of the things every graduating CILT (Counselor In Leadership Training) member does is pick a Bird Name. Yeah, a Bird Name. Well, I didn't want to be left out of that fun. No way was I going with "Robin," so for the weeks I'm at camp, I'm Mergan.

Also, this is a Traveling Day for me. As is tomorrow. (We are traveling from FL to OH) And then my brother and sister-in-law have Big Plans for the 4th of July weekend. We haven't seen them in a year, so everyone is pretty excited. What I'm trying to say here is that I will make every effort to visit all BoTBers before you close out your voting, but if I miss your battle, you know why. Vacation!


Now, let's get on with Battle of the Bands, which for the first time in months isn't merging with my Soundtrack posts. Although, I was looking for a Soundtrack song when I thought of this one. I'm not going to give you the story, but it was for junior year of college (whew! we finally made it out of sophomore year!) and there were still a whole bunch of surprises. I'll bring you the first big surprise with my next Soundtrack post and BoTB results post on the 7th. Then I'm outta here until August, so I won't be participating in Battle of the Bands on the 15th or visiting blogs past the 7th... no internet.

Holli over at Holli's Hoots and Hollers posted her Power Song here. If I had to choose a Power Song, I do believe this would be it. There is no other way to listen to this one than LOUD.

The song: I Believe It (Delicious Surprise).
The contenders: Beth Hart vs. JoDee Messina

So, let's get on with it!

Here is Beth Hart:



Here is JoDee Messina:


We've got so many new Battle of the Bands players that I'm having difficulty keeping up. (We post a new battle on the 1st and 15th of each month.) For those who've been following this feature/blog for a while now, can you believe that once upon a time -- for a long time-- there were only five of us??? Well, now the list grows each battle. So, if your name is not on here and you're participating, please leave me a message in the comments. Thanks for your patience!

 Also, please vote for the version of this song you prefer. If you want to get into the Ins and Outs of why you like one better than the other... I LOVE long comments!
