Updated master list

This week I managed to pull 16 tracks off the candidate list including a couple of charming, but not quite perfect, versions of Santa Claus is Coming to Town. As usual I love all these tunes and will be making use of most of them in other comps eventually. That leaves us with 90 songs on the master list with a new batch of candidates being added tomorrow.
