Such a beautiful rendition! I liked it immensely.....
It's so unfair that you are excluded from the competition. AJ, is it really too late, or can we make an exception for him? He deserves it!!!!

Sweet dreams are made of these ...who am I to disagree? 

Seriously, though, your sweet dreams are the dreams I dream of.  So tender and sweet and soothing.   The best Sweet Dreams I've heard.  It is a real pity you withdrew from the comp.  You should win hands down!!

You've done well starstruck, very nice indeed. This may really have changed the voting had it been in earlier.

Such a beautiful rendition! I liked it immensely.....

I just annouced the results! but anyway, I think it would not have been much use since I'm not expecting to receive anymore votes.. and then everyone else would have to vote again etc..  not very practical.

I may add it to the OP as an additional performance though if you would like starstruck - if anyone reads the thread in the future it can only be a benifit to have more perfomances posted as far as it being a source of learning.

Wow I liked this really a lot! :) I would have voted for you for sure if you were in the competition. (Even though I didn't really vote cause I couldn't decide  :P ). But you play this really well!!!!  :)

Thanks for your compliments!  I know some people said they hated this piece -but I have always loved it since I first played it -this music speaks a language beyond words -I love pieces like that -
