Roy Elkins Comments still to come, but meanwhile here's a brief:

"One song, Just Me And You, caught me ear throughout the process.  Second place was a battle between 13 other songs which switched places just about everyday.  I think if you presented these same songs to me in 6 months, I might have a different list as 5 points (based on the DSA form) separated the top 14 songs. "
