I'd even pay for it again grudgingly, just want it! Does it sound as excellent as the other two?

I really don't want to rub any more salt on any wounds, but it does sound great.

Better that and hope it still happens.

Huge thanks to everybody who played along and is still catching up. This was a really fun challenge to put together, especially in conjunction with Marshall Allen's 100th birthday this year. I wish I'd kept up better on doing write-ups for every song chosen; I still want to do so and may pick away at it here and there through the next couple of months. We'll see. Either way, it was super cool to see where people took these prompts, and very exciting to see that people were engaging with the songs throughout the month. I've truly had a blast.

Here's what my month looked like:


Three of these were second spins. Besides that I was able to keep myself limited to Fresh Grabs and Backlog to get through the month, which provided extra levels of fun AND challenge.
