please tell me there's a lot more time to vote... I need to listen to the list, and time is a wicked small commodity right now.

[bluesboy]

I think Steel posts a Friday early evening (West Coast time) result.

[MindCrime]

Is it too late to change the order of my vote? I find having the same #1 as nearly everybody else somewhat awkward and unoriginal.

[Steel2Velvet]

Shawanda, I count the votes about 11 P.M. (EST) on Friday night.

MC, changing your vote because others share your tastes in music seems a wacky reason, but go ahead.

So incomplete

I almost read that as an insult at first

[Lucky]

No, not at all! I listen to many of these songs often. I mean these ten don't nearly cover the possibilities. Among those 50 are a lot of songs that have very personal meanings for me. These ten are probably the most personal to me, for many reasons. But there are at least 15 or so left out.

1) Corcovado - Stan Getz / Astrud Gilberto

2) Mo Ti Mo - King Sunny Adé & His African Beats

3) Desafinado - Stan Getz / Joao Gilberto

4) Hello - Lee Michaels

6) Shall We Dance? - Stacey Kent

7) Blue Ridge Cabin Home - Flatt & Scruggs

8) Just One of Those Things - Ella Fitzgerald

9) Low Society - Lowell Fulson

10) Killing Floor - Howlin' Wolf

In answer to this week's trivia question; when BB submitted it to YouTube, in his description for "Winin' Boy Blues" he explained it was off his favorite album, Hot Tuna's first. The winners were to recieve an all expenses paid trip to my place to stay for a couple of weeks, but sad to say, no one got it right ... awww

Let BB know your thoughts on his music this past week.

[MindCrime]

Very solid list and the results are filled with a few key surprises

Nobody's Fault but Mine got 58 points with only 7 voters, that has to be some sort of record.

[_Laurie_]

Very nice!

[Viaene]

nice outcome, I can enjoy that music any time
