Dear Members,

As promised I am launching another new poll so that you may cast one and only one vote for the song you like best (and play again and again together with the other four, as I do) in the June AM.

In general, polls launched in any part of the world are extremely popular, enthusiastically welcomed and quickly responsive. No website on the Internet goes without polls of all sorts and descriptions.

From early indications, I predict that the best song will be a battle for about one month (poll closure is on 31 July 2003) between two, perhaps three contenders.

In Australia, the land of rugby, swimming, tennis and horse racing, polls reign supreme and two identities in rugby (The Blues and the Wallabies), swimming (Ian Thorpe and Grant Hackett), tennis (Rodger Federer and Andre Agassi at Wimbledon) and horse racing (any two front runners in any race) are the talk of the town and cause sleepless nights.

I got up in the wee hours of this morning to watch Federer defeat Fish at Wimbledon. The talk is: Will the Swiss Federer reach the final and beat the American Agassi? Ah! Federer, he was sublime poetry on the green. He displayed a bullet like first and an awesome second serves, lightning speed to the net, serve and volley, drop shots, drop volleys, Atlanta mid court action, angle cut-offs and back-hand smashes. How could he miss winning the Wimbledon crown?

Sorry, I got diverted. Above here is the official poll for the best song of the June AM.

Please, get on with it and vote! I already have.

Cheers,

Joseph

Just cast my vote Joseph. Bloody difficult it was too...

Haven't seen Federer so far this year, but I certainly like his all court flair. Has won titles on every surface this year hasn't he? A Rod Laver in the making?? I hope we'll see Agassi vs. Federer in the final (seeding permitting), so that we could actually esperience some nice rallies in Wimbledon for once. God I'm tired of the pistol serve + volleying...and nothing else.

Yeah, why not Federer?

Discussion closed.

PS, you forgot Aussie rule football mate! G'day.

Cheers from Joseph

This poll is closed, so I cannot cast my vote. It was too difficult to choose between Jussi Björling's excellent and moving Tonerna and Fisichella's Mattinata Siciliana. These were the two songs that battled it out for me. In the end, I guess I would have chosen Tonerna, for long a favourite of mine and with a specific personal value to me, but Fisichella in Mattinata Siciliana sure comes close. I've played it over and over again since June. Well done, Salvatore! and well done, Joseph! for exposing it to the grand public. With it, Salvatore Fisichella is reaching many opera and tenor enthusiasts that never had heard his name and who are all asking: where have this guy been hiding all these years?
