[Long Lashes]

I thought these songs were going to be easier to rate with having fewer of us taking part in this round. I was wrong. I’ve also learned that I enjoy Folk Music a lot more than I originally thought I did, so and thank you to whoever suggested this theme.

Winning song nominated by @Emelee


But…?

Who suggested this theme? Willie? Emelee? There's a bit of a battle going on between the two, but which one is correct?

Whoever this turns out to be, it won't be difficult to guess correctly when we do the Sea Shanty songs.

 

[Long Lashes]

Well done to the winners .... @Ome

and @Emelee

Who suggested this theme? Willie? Emelee? There's a bit of a battle going on between the two, but which one is correct?

I'm looking forward to finding out, this has been a great theme ...

 

[Emelee]

Congrats @Ome & song!

And as I said: I never lie.
(Well... unless I want to, need to or have to).

 

[Long Lashes]

And as I said: I never lie.
(Well... unless I want to, need to or have to).

It wasn't me either


so this must mean ...

 

[Willie Oleson]

If it wasn't Emelee then it was Richard but he didn't play this round (he also hasn't been online for a while so that could be the reason).
Ome had great folk songs in his list but somehow I can't see this being his idea. No. It just can't be.

 

[Sabella Scott]

Congratulation to all.


Who cares who is the responsible for it....

 

[Ome]

I'm looking forward to finding out,

And as I said: I never lie.

I can't see this being his idea.

Which means.....

Ome had great folk songs in his list but somehow I can't see this being his idea. No. It just can't be.

Special Almost Recognition goes to… @Willie Oleson for almost guessing who was behind this one
