I like this challenge, Joanne. I have so many favorites. I will think on it a bit and come back to officially sign up.Okay, I have so many favorites, and it changes all the time. Since I'm already doing a Steve Perry song in another group, I will start with him, and a few of his songs. I love spell-it-out challenges.

Barb, I just started the Ruth Galloway series and really enjoyed the first book. Yep...started a new series - even though I have a gazillion to finish. Lol.

Hey Southpaw! *Waves* I followed you and Barb here. ;)
This looks like it'll be a fun challenge! I'll decide what I'll choose for this.QUESTION: Can we choose more than one musical artist, actor, actress for this? Or it's only just one?
southpaw285 wrote: "Barb, I just started the Ruth Galloway series and really enjoyed the first book. Yep...started a new series - even though I have a gazillion to finish. Lol."At least the Galloway series only has four books out :) I just finished the newest book and can't wait for the next!

Amy, the first post says one artist, and some of thier songs. And that you can repeat it when you are done. I think it would be ok if you wanted to work on more than one at a time, but that would just make the challenge longer.

Chaitra wrote: "I followed you and Barb here. ;)"...Lol. I think we all follow each other around. I tend to follow Barb and Barbara alot. It's a wonder I haven't gotten into trouble for it. I love it when I see a familiar face though, because it lets me know I'm not alone in this crazy challenge mess.
:)
And I follow Southpaw and a few others :) Does that make us online stalkers? LOL

Love Actually might be my favorite movie EVER!

Another awesome challenge! I'll start out with a favorite group and song...for now! But I'll probably keep adding more to the challenge, lol!Entertainment Challenge
