*********IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SONG CHALLENGE!RS*********

The next SONG CHALLENGE! will be put forth on Saturday morning (U.S.) time -- even though a certain sad-eyed poet may go out of his skull before then -- You guys have been simply mahvahlahs about responding to these crazy things, and I want everyone to rest your little grey cells for a day or two, because the next CHALLENGE! idea is Barky's, and I want everyone well rested and able to make a mighty effort on her behalf. This is her first CHALLENGE! idea, so let's do a good job, OK?

In other news, Hyperabid has put a wee bug in my ear about a brand new award, so I need a couple of days to come up with a brilliant idea . . .

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you, to each and every one of you for churning out some really wonderful (and crazy) songs! Keep playing, writing, and singing!!
