Anyone in? As always, I will create a ping-list to ensure everyone who is interested is notified of new rounds and results, etc. (This would not exclude anyone from voting, just ensure many people would vote.)

Whenever I think of music from the far past— I think of Frank Sinatra. His original “All or Nothing at All” always comes to mind. Well before the 50s music, but a beautiful piece. I’m older than just about all of you here, so I’m dating myself, but music is music and that is a beautiful piece— the singer, the words and the music are classics.

[Tanniker Smith]

Okay. Why not.

[jocon307]

Count me in! Thanks!

[rocksblues]

Please add me.

[KosmicKitty]

[P.O.E.]

When you get to the 1920s, my vote is for the Charleston.

Sorry, out of my wheelhouse, but I will lurk. I am sure that I will learn some
things about that era. Thanks for doing this.
