I'm running so many projects, I'd lose my head if it wasn't firmly attatched. I'll check back later.

Hey you're part of a Brit comeback for the Stones
They were down 7 votes but they're pulling close now!
Thanks for participating!

HERE'S THE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!!!
After 62 matches the final two left standing are a bit of a surprise to me, being that they are both from the very beginnings of Rock n Roll in the 1950s. There is an arguement for many other songs to be here other than these, but somehow it seems fitting that two of the founding fathers should face off for the title.
So here goes-
Johnny B. Goode – Chuck Berry
vs.
Jailhouse Rock – Elvis Presley
Thank you for making this so much fun!

The winner of the first "Harvey's Rock Era Song Tournament" is...
ta...da...da...daaaaaaaaaaaaa!
"Jailhouse Rock"
Still the "King" after all these years!
It's been posted on the tournament page. But RL has gotten in the way of me contacting everyone who participated. I want to thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of the "Diamonds on the souls of my shoes" to the top of my "Bang your Head"!!!
Thanks so much!
What's that Harvey? Oh he says Elvis has left the building.
