After a late start, the entries for last week's contest have been coming in, and this week was a tough one to judge, as there were so many cool entries.
This week's track takes a different approach, and hopefully we'll get a nice varied range. Keep reading for more details.

LAST WEEK'S WINNERS
It was really hard to choose winners, but three of them stood out.
Congratulations to these awesome folk and their awesome choice of classic favourites:
- 2SBI goes to
and his Flight of the Conchords track Jenny
- 2SBI goes to
for a track that sent shivers up my spine hearing it for the first time, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga with their song Shallow from the new film A Star Is Born
- 1SBI goes to
and his drunken christmas ballad, Fairytale of New York by The Pogues
Each of you will be getting your SBI in the next day.
Also special mentions and upvotes to the other entries:
All of the tracks will be added to the current soundtrack HI-FI MIXTAPE: AFTER THE FORK.
Track 18: A Song From The Year You Were Born
1973:
It was the year the Vietnam War ended, George Lucas released American Graffiti, Supreme Court of the United States rules on Roe v. Wade making abortion a US constitutional right, 200 Oglala Lakota warriors from AIM occupy Wounded Knee as a protest against the broken treaties, the Sydney Opera House was opened, IRA freedom fighters bomb King's Cross in London, the Watergate hearings begin, and the Arab OPEC nations throttle oil production in retaliation against Israel, and Concord flies across the Atlantic.
And I was born, most importantly.
Seriously, the best music was released in this year. I could create a double mixtape and it still wouldn't cover the sheer awesomeness that was being heard. It also probably explains a lot if I was hearing this in the womb and first few months of my life.
What to choose...???...
Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) by George Harrison
from his 1973 album Living In The Material World
Listen to this track on Spotify.
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope, with this heavy load
Trying to, touch and reach you with,
Heart and soul
CONTEST DETAILS
5 SBI up for grabs!!
This week, I'm changing things up, and making the contest easier and less intensive.
Choose a song from the YEAR YOU WERE BORN.
Post it in the COMMENTS section - either a YouTube link or a link to Spotify or any other media service
Share a small story about WHY you've chosen this track, OR a quirky fact about that year, OR about that track/artist in the context of that year.
I am devoting a total of 5 SBI to this, so I will choose responses based on a combination of the choice of track AND from reading your story about your choice. I may choose 5 different entries at 1 SBI each, or just one entry will get all 5 SBI.
You do not have to upvote or resteem this post!! Although it will be appreciated and received with grace, it isn't a condition of entry - just enter your post as laid out in the guidelines above.
You're invited to vote and comment on others' entries, but again, this is not a condition of entry.
You have 7 days to enter, with the winners being announced next Monday with the next post.
Have fun, and TURN IT UP TO 11!
Enjoy!
😊🤘🏽🎸
