OLD 55 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I should have let you go first Jeff. I would have supported all of your Elvis New songs, but it wouldn't be fair of me to go back and change my post now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberjudge Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Doesn't matter. I could have gone along with some of yours, too ... but now there are more choices for others to try to latch on to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Why wouldn't it be fair for you to edit your choices. I doubt anybody else has seen them? edit: I probably shouldn't have said anything, I'd edit it out, but like you said Edited August 10, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks to all who've voted. Isn't it wonderful to see Ian/CanAm with us. Welcome back Mate. Now just a small thing. I've PT'd Phil because Move It On Over was a Country Hit for Hank Williams, but not Pop or R & B. Okay ! So he might be able to replace that.
