Sorry, Morbs, hope things improve for you.

One of the weirder bootlegs in my music collection is Zumpano on the radio on “Burt Bacharach” night in 1999 playing:
24 Hours From TulsaAnyone Who Had A HeartWhat The World Needs NowAlways Something There To Remind MeMy Little Red Book
It’s a fun listen if nothing else, and I can’t remember where I got it.

OK, I have a better sense of my work schedule (I hope). The thing is, my work client has newly-discovered cancer and is putting 95% of her time and attention into dealing with that, so a big project that should have been finished on the 1st isn't getting finished until next week. My part should be mostly done by Monday, fingers crossed. So I'm calling a hard deadline on ballots: MONDAY, MAY 13th by end of day. I will work on tabulations and artwork Tuesday and roll out results starting Wednesday.
Sorry this is dragging out past a month, I hate it when these polls do that. But you have plenty of time to vote!

I have a job application and a ballot scheduled to do tomorrow/Sunday, hangover permitting. Might well just vote for the songs rather than versions tho

Haven't found the time to put together a ballot unfortunately, but here's a new interview with BB:

91 years old today! (or whenever Sunday arrives in the western hemisphere anyway)Nice Guardian article btw.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Saturday, 11 May 2019 22:10 (four years ago) link
Interesting article!
I am pretty sure I could stay cool and collected in the presence of any individual but Dionne Warwick would be the exception. "Anyone Who Had A Heart" is just the greatest song

Ballot #15 received and added to the spreadsheet.
I just want to say that one of these years real soon, Burt's going to die and somebody's going to say "hey we should do a ballot poll in tribute" and I'm going to be real tempted to ban that fucker if stet doesn't catch me and unmod me first.
Pretend he's dead now and vote in the memorial poll!

One song has points from seven different artists, still not enough to push it into the top 10.

"Long Day, Short Night" is the greatest song the (English) Beat never recorded.

OK, no ballots came in overnight so this dish is DONE with 17 voters. Thank you to everyone who sent in a ballot! I could start the results right now if previous polls hadn't raised the graphics game so high.

A sense a bit of perfectionism in you, not unlike Mark Hudson.

Ah, got the wording slightly wrong, should be a *bit* of the perfectionismt

for my part, I don't ever look at the graphics in poll rollouts, with images off.
― L'assie (Euler), Tuesday, 14 May 2019 12:18 (four years ago) link
OK, I don't see any reason to delay the results, but I'm still waiting on a big work dump that is 2 weeks late at this point. If it comes in today, I'll have to pause the rollout and give 100% attention to that.
