Very nice to read your message, Raff. I joined PA only very recently but very much appreciated your (yours and Micky's) contributions, and not only in the interactive poll threads. Hope you will be back contributing again, at least in these polls, because the musical suggestions of you both have made me discover some interesting artists. These are odd times indeed - let's hope it can only get better - but this cannot withhold us from wishing each-other the best. Hope you and Micky will have a fine holiday season too and I wish you a good year to come. There is some reason for optimism... Cheers ! Beer

More details will soon follow, so this will become clearer to you tomorrow.  Hopefully everyone will be able to participate and also bring in others to participate.  If we need to extend past that time a few days, then we can figure that out as the time comes.  I think this will be very enjoyable for all who participate.

what's the theme?

It's a deal!  Thank you all for your help, too, with coming to a decision.  I hate for someone to not have a chance when they could have....but by then should have enough warnings, I'll go post that now.

How about opening the poll for voting on Tuesday am then?  The Thanksgiving holiday (in the US) may get in the way for some to pay attention (even if not traveling, cooking for even a small household takes time).

No objection from me. You have been sufficiently clear in your OP about the deadline for nominations, so if someone hasn't the possibility (or decency) to chime in in time to communicate his/her nomination then let's move on...

I am thinking of opening the poll in the next couple of hours, even though we've not heard from 3 entrants re their final choice, Icarium, Triptych and Bruford Freak.  Drew, I think, may be having computer issues from what he said when he joined in.  Cristi thought Triptych may have indicated the Sheryl Crow song as his choice, but I'm not seeing that after looking through 3 times.  I do want everyone to have a chance at getting their final choice voted on, but we are also running out of time before the next poll is to begin.

Any objections to my opening voting officially, without hearing from these 3, two of them in particular?

Ok for me!

I like long enough time for listening, so I'm fine with starting.
