And the winner, as of today, is … Rick Astley!

We’ll definitely need to arrange that soon!  Here’s where it gets confusing.  At one point, Kansas actually led the poll, so we started arranging that.  Did we close the poll at that point? Of course not!  We kept it going, thus guaranteeing confusing results.  Oops.

So, the winner, as of a couple months ago, was … Kansas!

The BBQ answered, and the world now has an arrangement of Kansas’ “Carry On Wayward Son.” If you want to hear it, keep checking our Facebook or Twitter feed. We’ll let you know the date and location of our next performance!
