That's great, I am sure some Ninny's will grab your file.
I have decided not to download the file because I aim to be out front listening to all the arrangements to be able to make my decision about which is my favourite.
I have decided to throw caution and possible critisims to the wind, the Ninny's will be voting for the BT Song Award and our choice will be a vote from all band members.
(CLARITY: All Band Leaders will have 1 vote, I always expected The Ninny Hammers to have 1 vote too!
As I am already picking my personal favourite in the Buggins Boast I thought it would be nice to get to our Song Award vote by polling the Ninny's. I feel I can rely on you all to be unbiased in your choices and vote in respect to the arrangement only. If you hate this idea, speak up and I will change it! Remember this is my first time hosting this event and I am still feeling out the best rules and regulations as we go.)
I will be picking my personal fav for the Buggins Boost. I know I have said other things before, like I would be polling the group to help me vote for the Boost award but I have changed my mind. I would like to be unswayed by any views but my own on the Boast Award and refer to the Ninnys for the Song Award.
I will just go by which arrangement I think is best, no matter if it is an arrangement of a total stranger or one of you guys.
I have been debating what to do for the best for some time in light of being percieved as picking a friend, because they are a friend. Being scared to be seen as biased. But today I think I feel more strongly than ever that I am going to judge each song on it's own merits and go with my gut feeling.
I am hoping that the three awards will be presented to different bands! but you know stuff happens, they may be a clear winner in the mix.
Also I won't listen to New's arrangement until it is played live tomorrow.
Sorry for waffling! but just had to set these things down while I have the thoughts in my head.
