February nominations

[Roger Ford]

Congratulations from this side of the pond to President Biden on his
inauguration to office today (Weds 20th January 2021)

I'm sure he'd agree that these nominations (and those that follow from
others) are all well worthy of inauguration too---into the February
edition of the Obscure 1950s Era Recordings tournament

Here are my February nominations

Wine Woogie - Marvin Phillips - Specialty 445 - 1952

Crazy Times - The Lamplighters - Federal unreleased - 1953

Fire In My Heart - Bobby Hall & Kings - Harlem 2322 - 1954

Mellow Daddy - The Drakes - United unreleased - 1955

Ding Dong - The Packards - Paradise 105 - 1956

Damn. And that's probably the year I saw him. He was so drunk he fell
down on his back, pulled the mike stand down down between his legs, and
sang into it while keeping time with his knees going in and out to the
music. A very, very strange sight to say the least.

OK. One more try.

No,its not wrong as you may have thought before opening the
message :)

Just to say that I will be both pleased and annoyed should this win
the February tournament.

Pleased because its a terrific record that Í've long liked.

And annoyed because I've had it on a tournament "possibles" list for
geological aeons now---and never used it

We are gonna have just 30 nominations this month and Diane does not want to find 2 songs again, so what we'll do is get one extra nomination from Rick for winning in January and one extra nomination from Steve for winning the year end tournament in December. That will get us to 32 for February and we'll revisit the problem in March if we have to.

Might I suggest that you bruce your "possibles" list (actually rank them as
potential tournament finalists, to potentially enhance your Obscure contest
performance stats, Roger. {Of course, you will spread the top ranking items
over the months ahead} :-)

I-know, if you showed me your "possibles" list, you'd have to kill me :-)

OK, it wasn't listed in the old list that I have of them.

Jim, to update this old list, I might suggest a recent Battle+Obscure list
posted on Nov 2 (it's only missing the 32 Obscure songs from January).

You are using the latest version of Agent (every competing app
has its pros and cons and Agent is still great! [for its layout, etc])

(By default, and annoyingly, Agent deletes the bodies of messages that
are 30+ days old. This can be stopped by right-clicking on group name,
clicking on Default Properties at bottom, and going to What to Purge...
- that's how, in Agent, I've permanently {fingers crossed} got all message
bodies going back to 2003 {that were, recently, still on the server})

The recent Battle+Oscure list of artist-songs is still available at:
