The relentless dedication of one man, and his companions on this musical bandwagon, is clearly evident from the consistent pace at which this blog is making progress by the day. A hundred songs are being consistently added every two weeks, give or take a couple of days. It is this consistency that is the most remarkable feature of this effort. The unflagging interest and the singular determination that is exhibited by the entire team, speaks volumes about the leadership and dedication of this one man.
