Wow, these wild scoring swings are giving me heart palpitations...

My entry in Male Singer-Songwriter didn't make the August finals and when it dropped to below #250 I thought it was out of the game permanently, but I just checked today and it's currently #27 out of 486.

My other entry in Americana/Alt Country also rebounded to #42 from waaaay below. Seriously, I think it was sub-#300 at one point. Maybe it's just a matter of getting enough listens for things to shake out.

Winning would be nice, but I'm more interested in that local opening slot opportunity I'm vying for, so if my song just stays put awhile longer...I've been asking people to judge fairly and join the fanclub, but it's all in the people's hands...
