It’s been a pleasure to vote for many of these songs, which I love, and also a pleasure to vote against several that I hate. Hubby was the tie breaker where needed, sometimes going with the song I was leaning towards and sometimes against. But hubby knows his music stuff, so I’m happy to go with his choices.
