        Thank you, Brian! Thank you, JoLa, for loads of help with the details (if this is flawless, it’s thanks to you). Thanks to everyone for your participation! These are such different circumstances, I hope everyone stays well. Wash your hands, don’t touch your face, stay well! I added titles when I saw them (there weren’t nearly as many as last month). If anything is incorrect, please let me know, I’ll fix it.

        It was great to see such a large turnout again this month. The are 69 people participating; while that’s 8 less than last month’s record-breaking 77 submissions, it’s still very healthy—just like I hope everyone is.

        Wow! Wow! Wow! There were 10 new Challenge participants, let’s welcome Stobes, Guitarman Jay, Sam G, RPatrick. Jason B, David, Cory James, Jimmy G, Roger P and Benedikt E! Did I say “Wow!”? Very nice! I’m sorry if I missed any new participants or if I missed posting anyone’s video, please let me know as soon as you can, thanks!

        A personal note: Whaddya hear, whaddya say! It’s always my pleasure to do this. When I’m working from home it takes longer. Frankly, my work-from-home seat isn’t comfortable and I can’t just sit and do it in the same way that I did it in normal circus dances. I really enjoy hearing all of the videos (my apologies for not commenting, I am hoping to improve on that); sometimes I walk around while I’m listening and end up in my guitar chair, making it take even longer. My apologies for the lateness, but it’s partly self-preservation. Thanks for your understanding!

          Don thank you for your efforts. I really like it and use it for „re-browsing“ and stealing ideas…😇
