Good morning, Tom. The list is great because I didn’t see and hear all of the songs so I just started my morning off listening to MR. BRIGHTSIDES AND a BONNIE RAITT. The list is a good way to start the day.
What do you mean, exactly? Are you saying that the songs are not fully listed for you to see? Is it that the links don’t work? I haven’t heard this from anyone else so, I am wondering if you are actually the first one to try the checklist out? Anyway, let me know how it is going and I will try to help.
Oh, I get it now. Thanks for clearing that up. Enjoy.

Sorry. I am trying to send you a screen shot so you can see what I see when I look at the checklist. Everything appears to be visible to me and functional, too.
