This is about as surprising of a winner as I can remember as Steve's Leadbelly wins the group. Roger's Cole was second, Diane's Duke third and Lucky Grossberg talk 4th to stay in the contest. Steve's Bob Wills is out, although I would have thought that
would be first before it was last. Steve's ballot decided the top 4 positions as we had a 4 way tie at 22 points before he voted.

fine black records; but Jim did at least place Leadbelly second in his

Carl's Turner and Johnson wins the group handily. My Deltas took second and my Jordon took third. Diane's Dark edged out Roger's Mills Boys in a 5-3 tie breaker to stay alive. So THEN has arrived for the Mills Brothers.

That was kind of the Cinderella record of the contest, I think. As a
blues fan I was delighted to see it progress to the finals. But like in
the March Madness tournament, Cinderella almost always has to leave at 5 minutes to midnight.
