TOURNAMENT OF CHART-TOPPERS 1960S PING LIST
(This is a temporary ping list, so don’t worry!)

OK, we’re almost to the finish of Round 2!

We have some very tight matches. Some are tied as of now.

I’m pinging any who have not yet voted on Round 2.

Perhaps you can break the ties so we don’t need a 24-hr run-off into Monday!

[Fiji Hill]

My selections are on #32.
