1. What More Can I Do – Zombies – from their very first album! The Zombies rule!

2. Maybe Tomorrow - BADFINGER! – why is this song not in the regular TT?

:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: Thank you soooooooo much!....I just want to thank all of you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to listen to my list...And thank you too S2V...the visit to Grandma's was well worth the wait!....Peachy, oh my gosh, all that salami must of been expensive...I guess Sammy must of paid up this week?...:shades:

Speaking of Sammy...he picked Do You Feel Like We Do as his #1 and Golden Country #2...Frampton was my very first concert and Reo might of been my 2nd...not sure..it was a looooong time ago...but those are two awesome songs that are great played live...

Duke Jupiter and the Good Rats were very popular in our area..I remember seeing both those groups and we always had a good time going to see them...

I'm very very happy to see Mr. Neil Young at #1..Long May You Run is an amazing song...I loved reading the story behind this song on Songfacts...pretty interesting story that's for sure.

Hey Edna!...Share The Land!....woootwooot!....great tune, I'm very happy it made it in!.....

Thanks Again...I love you guys!

Edna, here is your prediction from the PTT thread, dated 1/30/20:

I can't wait to see Laurie's list... :cool:

Some Badfinger, some Neil Young... and then a couple of other songs till it makes 50... :cool:

You certainly know Laurie!

Nooooo!!!!!

I didn't get to vote.

I'll express my frustration through emoticons.

:doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Technically, you did get to vote, Rocky. Opportunities probably just slid by, one after the other, until the deadline was past. Being a college student, I doubt Friday early evenings that your mind trips over Songfacts - oh, the shame!

Again for everyone: From the original post of how this thing would go down (I changed the Monday to Sunday in order to give everyone an additional weekend day to listen to lists):

.. Every Monday hereafter we will have a new member's 50 songs to pour over and begin selections through 10 P.M. EST Friday night. ..

I find it difficult to work much past 10 EST Friday (that is 1 A.M. Saturday here) because after the work week, I get very tired by that time, on that day. Don't forget I am an old man. ;) (Gee I love that excuse ... it works!) :D
