The rules:  Don’t take too long to think about it.

Fifteen vocalists that will always stick with you.  List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. (It took me over an hour, is that ok?)

TIIA’S BONUS FEATURE - adding links to songs.

Do I have to write his name 15 times or is this ok? Yeah ok. The rest come in random order. Also, 15 is clearly not enough, since I have to leave SO MANY FAVOURITES out. How about listing 50?

So there you have it. Nothing new, nothing surprising, but that’s how I am with these things :)

Mondays get a whole lot better, if you go out and buy a bright red ukulele. And maybe a bottle of red wine.

After that, you should watch this and learn to do it yourself. Oh the cheer-up!!
