regarding the winners names: as a child of the ’50s, both names Donna Reed and Tammy, bring back memories. I used to watch the Donna Reed Show and I loved to hear and sing the themesong from “Tammy & the Bachelor”, starring Debbie Reynolds. Anyway, just reading their names today in your winners’ circle prompted me to look up the Tammy theme and I have just printed and played a copy of it, and will add it to my fake book sheets as a lovely little jazz waltz to improv on. So, congrads to the winners and lucky synchronicity for me, so I’m a winner, too!
Congrats to the winners!
