I have so~o~o~o many favorite Gregory Page songs that it’s just plain silly to single out one. But, if I did decide to attempt such a silly thing, I might just pick “Bumblebees and Me” (see no. 9). And, I notice that Gregory is the only San Diego artist in the Top 20 this month. Speaking of favorite songs… I believe “Empty Chairs” at no. 11 is probably my favorite Don McLean song of all time. So simple and so beautiful. You can listen to it at his MySpace fan page at www.myspace.com/donmcleanfansite
I suppose we should just get used to seeing Krista Detor on the Top 20 list (no. 7). You all seem to vote her back on most months! Excellent taste! Have you noticed Storyhill in the rotation (no. 19)? They’re an acoustic duo out of Minnesota. I love their work ~ tons of energy and harmonies.
Thanks for voting everybody! Thanks for listening!
