lurksalot Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Sod the new year celebrations , I'm gonna be glued to this vote Tongue in cheek I asked Lurksalittle to come on and cast her vote , in true daughter style , she told me that she would have to listen to them all and vote for the best , and that would NOT be mine Edited December 31, 2016 by lurksalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 VOTING ENDS AT MIDNIGHT! If you're staying in tonight, then warm-up with the Basschat Challenge and cast your votes. It's a bit like Jules' Hootenany, only with a touch less boogie and a double dose of woogie. Oh and happy New Year y'all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Voted. All great. Happy new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!! Well done to Lurks on the win - great track mate - and congratulations to everyone else. Not one entry shy of votes. We have one winner and three tied in second place (Bastav, Bilbo and yours truly), so we'll have to do something creative with the prizes... I'll get on to that tomorrow. After a fry up. All the best for the year ahead... Edited January 1, 2017 by Skol303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Wow , a snapshot at about now is on the one hand fantastic many thanks, as I appear to have pipped it by one vote, but on the other hand tinged with a touch of disappointment. By now, Douglas (Dad3353) would have thrown a certificate at me , but as is obvious by his lack of an entry, he is not well, and seriously not well . I would like him to get better and sort my certificate out , to make it a bit more official ! So many thanks to all who voted for my efforts and a big hug to Doug Ed to add cheers Paul , I take too long typing on my phone !

MoonBassAlpha Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Note to self: next time, choose a cover that people might ACTUALLY have heard of... And again, all the best to Douglas, wishing you a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
