I haven't played a numerous amount of these yet, so maybe I am mistaken???

I will try to get these in a bit. Once I posted my votes late last night, this thing wouldn't start back up, so I am just now returning. I am showing this person here, a bunch of my favorite movies. I'll be up super late.

Cannot agree nor disagree as this is my first tournament. However I think the theme is very specific and personal to each one of us. We are somehow revealing out secrets here, bits of our personal history. Thats what make this tournament more engaging, interesting.

We can't move on to Round 4 until all the votes are in for Round 3, so we'll leave the last two sets open for a day or two to let everyone vote, but if everyone hasn't voted by Monday night, we'll have to close Round 3 so we can move on to Round 4.

DAY 1 is still open for @��st��y and @Derek Vinyard to vote.

DAY 2 is still open for @christine, @��st��y, @Sarge and @Derek Vinyard to vote.

@gbgoodies If you haven't already checked, according to the vid originator it is Abfab Party Band* performing Yesterday (a quick comparison of the two does seem to confirm this) .... which means the track can be found on their album Romancing the 60's Love Mix which was released on 26th Jan 2010 (available on iTunes* if interested).

Hey at least the poor track no longer has to go by the ignominious 'Unknown artist' moniker now. I think a deerstalker and violin might be a bit much for what was about six minutes work all told though ..... just the deerstalker will do .... size 7 1/2 btw
