Naw Ron - The only 'break' I had in mind was a gimme to both, based on beng unaware til now of my mis-reading. Rules are rules. I do appreciate all of you bringing it to my attention, I do thank you, I thought I had two valid responses, with Dave being the 'BIG' song submission importantly, and Joveski erroneously was considered by me to have a valid (with comma) submission, ahead of Dave's.
EVEN so, the fact that it was not a BIG song for Gord - is the ONLY part I thought I was going easy on. didn't realize the missing comma in Mende's. !
Thanks again guys ! I don't want to over look any post - but----
Hope I didn't miss anyone's posts that appear all in agreement - no argument, only misread, I did. I'll let this post be the last one, I figure you guys will understand me with clear-conscious,
raised perhaps, but no rule breaking intended.
Now, so's I can git' on with the game !
No special favours,
rules are rules, all agreed, I read a comma where there was not one !
My mistake - BUT -
so as to not let it go on unsympathized with as to your trevails, my people told me about your flat, Ron. You see, I'm
company. Dinner company is all..lol !
I am indeed
sorry you had a messed up day Ron, no breaks for you though man, we all abides by the CODE OF THE WEST in here.
So, I think I get a neck-stretchin', after I post a flat -tire Avatar by your name . Ron..lol 
Truly now, back to the game - I hope this and other posts in the last fifteen minutes answer all your questions ! Simple mis-read. No hurt feelings intended, or favour given. I did wait on the big X, as my finger was a-itchin for something wrong, it was guiet, too quiet.... But as an honest American, standing side-by side with Canadians and Aussie's. Right has been done !
OK...phew....now back to the game... Dang if I make an eighth error in closin on 400 clues, I fear what's next for me, your faithful game host, (as I watch a rope hanging in a tree over there..)lol..
Final ruling -Dave gets it solely, by vrtue of my earlier misread, no wrong in mind at any time, and I do thank you all for being on the ball....where i DROPPED it...
SO LETS PLAY BALL ! THE GAME IS BACK ON ! Error ded and buried, I hope....lol..
