OLD 55 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 HERE'S A SUGGESTION FROM BLUESBOY Thanks Big John. After Easter, What do you think of 5 day cycles(like the 5th, 10th, 15th...) with 3 days of nominations and 2 days of voting or is the weekly cycle the way to go? It sounds good to me ! We do have a bit of "dead" time there for a couple of days sometimes. Yay or Nay Have your say. Majority rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 My two songs are: Shipbuilding - Elvis Costello Powderfinger - Neil Young Mellow's good Laurie, but I'll up the tempo a little. Rikki Don't Lose That Number - Steely Dan Time Is Tight - Booker T. & The MG's Edna mentioned a couple too, but I'm not sure if they're final. She said she'd renominate.

Uncle Joe Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) I vote Yay on BluesBoy's idea. Edited April 12, 2006 by Guest Voted too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Thanks CeeCee. I'll include those above. Nominations are still open, but if most agree with bluesboy's idea, we'll close them early enough to allow voting for the 15th ! Sorry if I misled people. I meant they're good enough to vote now, but I don't want to start without allowing time for all our regulars (AND any other Songactors who'd like to participate)to get their nominations in.
