I'm a little confused...from the start we wanted to put this in everyone's hands, from voluntarily offering up songs to do, to putting them all up for vote...lyrics, compositions, songs...to anonymous, blind voting for which one to do. I'm not sure where favoritism comes in...not even sure who the favorites are supposed to be. Truth is, I think the songs with the best chance of getting selected would be the ones that are easiest for people of various experience levels to cover.

Why did I decide to have three choices? So that people would vote for more than just themselves...I figured that would give more advantage to more people, and less chance of a 17-way tie.

But yes, fun is the name of the game here. One thing that is pretty much impossible is to come up with a challenge that everyone agrees upon...that thread we were on a couple weeks ago got so convoluted and full of second guessing that I finally told Big Jim let's stop looking for consensus and just make a choice. grin Sorry, that's the General Manager side of me...I can't stand waiting around for a group decision. Sorry!
