NOTES: Survey shows the artist of the No. 31 song as Bruce Jorgenson.
    Likely an inside joke.  Should be Four Seasons.

    The song titles and artists shown above are presented exactly
    as they are shown on the printed survey.  Any typos, spelling 
    errors and/or other anomalies are as they appear on the printed 
    sheet.
