Well, you contributed six songs which is much more than some of us, including me, could ever wish to contribute. Your third entry is one of my favourite tunes of the contest (numerically it's actually my top favourite). Would you mind to give some background information to that song? And... is there any possibility it might ever be released?

, that was a very good batch of songs, also by my reading the top ranking song too.

Yes, congratulations goes out to Frantic. I'm taking it that since he is no 45 guy he will donate the proceedings to the coal miners in WV
It actually helped me through tough times lately. My mother died recently and I've been kinda outta sorts physically, not bad, just feeling kinda weird with almost no energy, including today, where I slept most of the day. When the contest started I never expected to submit more than 2 or 3 songs or even come close to winning. But as time went on I saw how many cool songs were being given up so I decided to enter more songs that I had planned for upcoming cds (sorry about the gaps in the songs) I never did it for the 45 (Thanks Mark) I did it for sharing the songs. I've never made crap on any of my cds other than the PUBLIC NUISANCE cd. I've always released them as a labour of love and to to share killer Nor-Cal garage with all you guys. The contest started with some disaray but the one guy around that could pull this thing off, succeeded. I may have won but the real winner in all our eyes is Mark Taylor the king of the g45 world. Just think without all his hard work, 100 cool unknown songs may have taken years to surface. And it was cool that he handed out some of the highest scores in the contest. And then to offer the pick of a pile of rare semi-expensive 45s was the icing on the cake. I can't think of anyone else who would have done that. Thank you Mark. And in true Joey D fashion (no filters whatsoever) I have a few things I need to say. While I'm truly thankful for you guys who took lots of your time to enter and rate songs, I'm a little miffed at the turnout. We have 100's or 1000's of members on the forum, yet only 10 to 15 members rated songs. A week ago when the contest ended there weren't that many ratings (including mine) and I thought for sure that a ton of ratings would come in in the last week. To my surprise they barely came. Of course I'm not mad but I am kinda miffed as to why some major players around here never voted. Anyway, on a lighter note I gotta thank the Libs around here who played it square by not giving me lower scores due to my Ronnie Reagan Avatar. Thanks guys. Anyway, I would love to see all you guys give a lot of thanks to Mark for running this cool forum, one of the best around.
