Hi Folks,

While I try to find a way to post all the nominated songs (assuming I get cooperation from the artists and writers) I got motivated to find all the winning songs that are posted or available on CD Baby. Below are links to 2 minute samples of all of them. I think this will give some of you an idea of the quality of the songs and the amazing diversity. If I find additional links to the missing songs, I will add them. Once we have full versions available, we'll build a permanent "Museum" for the JPF Awards with all the award winning songs in full versions that we can get permission for.

Here's the list in Genre Order starting with the 2006 Just Plain Folks Song Of The Year.
