Hi Brian and fellow JPF Members, old and new, I planned to help a new member who had a double-entry into the contest, but, Pete has taken care of that nicely. I have just come from reading more entries. Bless my friend Judy for telling us that we need to read a few every day or we will not be able to judge the winners fairly. However, my list of FAVORITES DOTH GROW AND IT IS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT TO CHOOSE FIVE. I will continue reading each day, marking my favorites down and which page they are on so that when the contest is over and our votes are asked for I will only have to read the ones I have chosen. Out of the 170 I have read so far, I have ear-marked twenty-two super lyrics in my opinion. If the contest has brought in this many new names to our family, I must say WELCOME, to some wonderful new competition and, hopefully, our networking grows more fruitful with each new artist. This may go over that 300 mark, Brian, for I have not seen a lot of my friends from the board yet in the readings. They are, maybe having the same trouble deciding on what to enter, that I did. After reading all of the lyrics posted so far, I have languished over my choice, thinking it not serious enough to have a chance. Then I find an especially cute lyric that I think would make an unforgetable lasting song and mark it as one of my favorites. You never know what someone is going to like. Viva Le Difference! I am starting to feel sorry for the mentors who will be making the final decisions. Good Luck to all. Idamarie
