Well ,thank you all,


The song that won the prize is in Aines Mudcat songbook, "My Grandfather hated the Germans" and I have sung it on Paltalk!!
I am completely gobsmacked by this. I was talked into entering the competition, Graham Pirt was the judge, (but I didnt introduce myself until after the competition),and the standard of the entries was excellent, I didnt think i had a hope in hell

Many thanks to you all,as Much for the encouragement I have received here which has helped and laughed(intentionally)at my efforts.
Unfortunately my friends ISP had a fit at the beginning of Paltalk last night and we could not get on at all so you will have to wait (those who haven't heard the song) until I get home late Sunday,Maybe with some new songs!!!! many thanks again
