February SOTM - THE WINNER!!!

« **on:** March 06, 2015, 11:47:38 PM »

OK, back by popular demand

........

I have finally curated my short list for February Song of the Month.

I had forgotten how hard it is to pick out songs from a long list of around 30 very very worthy songs. Such great quality. And such variety too, which really doesn't help at all!! I could so easily have done this on another evening and ended up with a completely different short list...... but I have plumped for the following short list of 5 songs...

PLEASE VOTE by sending me a PM with your choice by Sunday 22nd March, and I'll announce the winner the next day.

digger72 - Vampire Moon

Hi

Good luck to those people nominated

I am sorry that I don't vote but just to say this is because of good reasons, not bad.

Hey Marianna, that's cool, no worries.

It's just for fun (and it's confidential too) in case that should make any difference... but, yeah, no worries at all, it's your choice after all - you don't have to explain!

Big congrats Paul

I was actually listening to your song when I opened this post, so to
find that it was the winner, was pretty serendipitous

Big Thanks Becky

All five songs are fabulous
