A flurry of entries today! Last call! just under 3 hours to go! The clock has been turned off!

If you can't make the deadline and want to finish and post your song here, I'll add it to the website after the polling ends (1 month). Thanks to everyone that submitted and played. Nice job everyone!

OK, it's in. Man, this is tough when you haven't done it for a while. All those buttons to press and everything...

Have sent my second proper mix in. And I'm not going to say a word. But I had a whole lot of FUN, that much I know. :) And I do like fun. :)

actually, it's better that i did. I'd lowered my piano levels to check something and in Mix 1 had forgotten to bring them back up so we had the whole thing with Tiny Piano at -14.

I am full of ace and slick moves such as this.

my chat program has a little happy face that actually rolls on the floor and laughs. he slaps the ground too and points at the sentence that you just typed as well. it's the little things that matter, i think. :)

they all work for me now, for some reason Jack and Paco wouldn't play on the 1st few tries. All is good now.

Great stuff people!

Spud: While listening to your track, and thinking about the back story here, I wanted to hoist a Redhook in memory of Mad Dog. The Dog has left the Pound.
