If your songs aren't there, you could use Google/Wikipedia - or PT OLD55 if in doubt. .................................................. IT'S EASY Allot your points in 3 sections: PART A: 5 Existing songs in Top 40 #31 (below) you'd like to advance: (Plus) +5, +4, +3, +2, +1. PART B: 5 Existing songs in Top 40 #31 (below) you don't really care for, or you think could make way for other New songs.: (Minus) -5, -4, -3, -2, -1. PART C: 5 New Songs you'd like to see in the next Top 40: (Plus) *5, +4, +3, +2, +1.

Dappled Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hello everyone! I'm trying something new. I've made a blog called Golden Oldies where I have put the playlist on the sidebar. There's also another playlist called Bubbling under where I have put some of your nominations for easy listening. I intend to put more songs there in time. For the blogtext I took the liberty of pasting Ceejay countdown. (I'll remove it if you don't approve, CJ.) http://lorjim58.blogspot.com/ lorjim58 is my YouTube ID taken from the name of my favourite literary character, Lord Jim! Enjoy!
