1 - 3 - 1 Challenge (No.2)

Code for Banner if you want to add an image link back from your song to here:

[url=http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/forum/topic/b016bc62][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/P2OomK7m.jpg[/IMG][/url]

Yes, I took the advanced BBCode manual on Snap that can be found under 'HELP!' GRIN! Next you will have me putting in background pics... :P

Well, here we are and there you be!

This challenge will run from Sunday 4th October to Sunday 11th October 2020.

This challenge is open to everyone – new and old, Blue and Gold <3

Everyone is still a winner we've never been a contest – the winning is in the taking part, sharing, and caring.

The new challenge will be in a 1- 3 -1 format as follows:

One word – and even though it is one word, it is open to so much more! The description will explain how.

Three songs – yes, let’s try and keep it down to three for now, and let’s try and be generous. For each song you post, listen to three other people’s songs in the challenge, then post your second, do the same again and then your third. This rule applies to bonus songs as well which may be permitted after/on Wednesday depending on how busy we are.

One Week – I’m a bit on the lazy side! Our old EAW challenges originally ran 2-3 days and virtually non-stop – live chat and weekends included! I recognise we are all busy, so, I want this to be a time to chill, drop in when you can and enjoy.

Our word for this week is ‘Weather’… you can search for weather in a song title, lyrics or band/artist name! Your recording does not have to be a new one either and you can post duets.

According to 'SiegeMedia (2018) the top most Googled word on the internet was 'Weather' bringing in a phenomenal shower of 24,440,000 search 'per month'. Of course, there will be tons more now. :P

Being a Brit my favourite topic is the weather. When in doubt and you see a stranger - smile and say, what a day!! :D

2020 has served us up, a bit of a year - we've seen flooding, fires and all sorts. Tomorrow we will all go skiing. And sunbathing by teatime.

Please add your songs in the following format:

Name of Song - Artist:
Link:

If we can keep to a regular font size to make it easy for accessibility that would be great. If you are also able to put a link back to this challenge page in your song description to help spread the fun, even better! Doesn't have to be a banner if you are not into them ;)

Thank you! I’m looking forward to hearing you :)

I don't have a song to add just yet, I'm off to learn one or two, heh. Over to you then!

I missed a ] before image... is it any better? I did it in a real hurry as food was waiting!

LOL ... and I added two img... checking

Janet just take the code from [ img to the end img] without url at the end.

Janet just take the code from [* img to the end *img] without url at the end.

? I will look at what you are saying. Meanwhile I played with it and put it in a private song to test ... now I've closed the [*/code] and taken the extra image out...

Don't panic... I'm working on it! It will be right soon. Just playing around helps to learn.

Edit... I think it is working now, check on a song and let me know. I copied across what Mikeiii put in last week's. (But some bits got added in... or not but I took one out) and I didn't close the [*/code])

Less haste, more speed!

I forgot to mention the very first code is for if you want to add a banner. Or not... hahaha. (blush).

Edit: Gonna stop trying to be clever...

Hello Friends !!!

Hope everyone is having a beautiful weather wherever you are on the planet...
We're at the tail end of a heatwave here in Southern CA..

Hi Janet

Good job on the banner, congrats :), but don't go crazy on banners lol, we are still
on the singing challenge , hard to listen to those banners , while they are pretty they
don't make too much noise like my wailing

Wow so let's cook up a storm with all kinds of stormy weather songs
I wonder who would do that one first

STORMY - CLASSICS IV
http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/r/bca947999

good night my friends, it will be a fun week hunting for those new words
Snagelpuss

The banner is optional I like a good ol' wail. Like I said, if people just want to link back to their song... (without an image) - (no need to put the image it in this thread), it helps us spread the word of where they can join in.

Those that do 'pretty' keep doing 'pretty'. Those that don't, keep being you! :0)

Sleep well new friend. I'm about to put my recycling bin out - no wind tonight so hopefully it will stay put... and yay, the rain has stopped. So, my garden is only slightly flooded, lol. It's a very big bird bath... Bigbird? Hmm. Oscarrrrr!!!!

Thank you for all the lovely songs, peeps! I'm caught up to here now.

Where's Ernie with his rubber ducky and shower brush?

Picking up Paperclips that dropped in your puddles earlier... Bert was too lazy. He left the rubber ducky there, didn't you see it? Okay... Bin!!

LOL guess I was too busy splishin and splashin!

It Might As Well Be Spring - Frank Sinatra
http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/r/c3977a035

Hello friends. This is one of many favorite recordings I have from many moons ago, and I wanted to share it in this challenge. I thought I would try to rerecord it, but apparently I'm not allowed to due to licensing.
Oh well.

"Never Be The Sun" Dolores Keane
http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/r/bd9d1fadc

Singing with my friend, Janet.

I know it is not specifically a "weather" song, but the sun and moon and "the dark clouds" are weather related.
