These affected artists must be so delighted at the vigilance of the 'rights police' seeking to protect them from viewers outside their own neck of the woods from hearing/seeing them, don'cha think. 😏

I think it's Darkness Into Light - Lost Ragas, and unfortunately..it's right in the middle of the playlist...again...bummer!

message 35: by Val (new)

Val H. | 22152 comments Sorry I caused confusion. I deleted my original nomination but never thought to omit it from the final list.


message 36: by theDuke (last edited Feb 22, 2018 08:16AM) (new)

theDuke | 6492 comments Ah so that was it...so it's 18 songs then, I've edited the voting list.

Might be a good idea if folks leave their original posts showing, but edit it, to state that a nomination has been changed, rather than delete the post...given that on GRs, there's no record of a post that has been deleted. Might avoid further confusion.


Right..let's start again...

message 38: by Spacepig (new)

Spacepig Pig | 1473 comments Duke: When I am making up the playlist, the only thing I really look for is the youtube link. If people have changed their minds, and leave the post as it is, we are going to end up with loads of links in the playlist that shouldn't be there.
Best bet is to delete the post altogether.

Not sure how many songs outside the Val Doonican canon there are which mention names! I've got one with a quasi 'title' in the title if you know what I mean, but not a name as yet.
