One of them being mine...
Also, I thought I voted for Moon River, but maybe it got chopped to make way for..err... The New Seekers.
Nice to see Fern Kinney in the top 200. Just.

Mike, did my vote get to you? Would have come from "Ian"??

I amazed at the songs I apparently overlooked, too, but as it turns out that didn't matter.

Hmm, don't remember this one, I thought.
Then I checked through it very rapidly, and decided it was familiar after all.
Except, looking again, I've realised that it slipped through the net - not having shown up on my webmail for some reason. (Or maybe I just missed it.)
Many apologies for that... and I do assure you that everyone else's e-mails WERE counted.
So... feeding Hobart's votes in, let's do an update. Back in a bit.
