I have a few chocs still; can it wait a week or two more, please..? No..? OK then; I'll polish 'em all off as best I can, and hope some buddies drop by to assist.

Well f**k me furiously, I've had a good run through these now and that is a proper collection of most excellent toonage of the highest order, fair play

Thank, Lurks; glad you liked it..! Some of the others are not bad, either..!

Furiously? I have never heard that expression before. I may use that 🤣

[MoonBassAlpha]

Wow, one of the strongest months so far. This is going to be a tough one to sort out!

[NickD]

That took ages to get together...

Ah, that's definitely my number 1 vote...

Nope, that's definitely my number 1 vote...

Nope, that one's even better...

Wait...

What?...

Great job everyone!💪😎

[lurksalot]

I’m going to need another couple of listens through these 

1..because I am finding it difficult to whittle down the preference to 3 

2.... I really enjoy listening to them 

 

my voting system goes on points based allocation when it is as close as this , but these all get pretty much the same points

I had a similar problem.  There was one which I thought was my absolute favourite so I only voted for one rather than make the decision on the others.

[lurksalot]

I’ve managed to commit to 3 as much by sticking a pin in the list, but it’s done 😎

one criteria I did let influence me , was lyrics , I love to hear the story telling aspect of the tunes , but I do need to hear the words , I think there’s a few of you should be a bit braver and bring the vocal slider up a few db.*
 

 

 

 

 

*I realise that is a touch rich considering the proposed vocal on mine didn’t materialise 

[Doctor J]

Well done @Dad3353, richly deserved

[NickD]

NIce one... Congratulations!

That was the toughest vote in a long while.

[upside downer]

👏👏 Another well deserved win, congratulations! 👏👏

[Dad3353]

Thanks for the congrats, folks, but I must offer an apology this month. I'm not well right now, and haven't been following too closely; indeed, I've not even voted, myself..!  May I suggest that the current 'second ' ( @upside downer ...) take the top spot (I'd have voted for that one, which would have brought on a tie, anyway...)..? I'll get around to doing the usual Certificate later, in both our names, but I'm really not up to it right now, and wouldn't want to put too much of a damper on the Challenge, which is doing splendidly, with, as has been mentioned, much talented creation from old hands and newer faces.
Copy to @lurksalot and @Skol303 for validation; I hope this meets with your satisfaction. No worries; I'll be back with more of my stuff as soon as I can.

Sorry to hear that Douglas, hope you feel better soon!

[NickD]

Hope you're on the up soon... Take care of yourself!

[upside downer]

Best wishes to you Douglas, take care.

[Doctor J]

Yes, best wishes to you.

Was wondering where my 3rd vote had gone 😁

Either way, make sure you're well enough for the next one as I'm looking for an excuse to ditch any semblance of melody...

Thanks, but the victory belongs to @Dad3353. I am merely an Ernie to his Eric.

Picture sent to @lurksalot so standby for action.....
