[phil]

Thanks to everyone who's voted. Except for the probable top three, the voting has been very diverse.

[Steel2Velvet]

Except for the probable top three, the voting has been very diverse.

It's do-it-yourselfers like you that put pollsters like me out of business, Phil.

I might as well pack up my hanging chads and move back to Mayberry. I know when I'm not needed ...

J/K of course. Actually, I'm glad you are staying excited and tuned in, my man.

[phil]

Ron, your job is safe. I was just glancing at the results and did notice some songs were voted on more often, that's all.
