We're creaking toward the finish line when it comes to picking the Week 18 tune. Barb is still on vacation, so it behooves me to advise you to vote if you haven't. There doesn't appear to have been much action over in the poll; my guess is the active voters have long ago exhausted their ballots and are riding out the extended balloting (ugly link below). Bluegrass Stomp, a Monroe tune, is currently leading the pack. I haven't been able to find good ABC file for this, so if it wins, hopefully somebody can come up with some. I did find a file that will play but not display due to errors in the coding -- which is Greek to me. http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=53428
Here are Mandozine's TablEdit files. I made an abc file of the Compton transcription, which seems pretty good: X:1 T:Bluegrass Stomp C:Bill Monroe - Arr.

So now we know the magic number of active voters (plus or minus). A reasonable guide to when we need a new poll or song list.
Good point. As of earlier today, there were 41 votes total, and this week's winner had six votes. It got anther vote sometime after between then and now.
