As part of this prize: An ART Tube MP Studio Mic Preamp.

These two units are ONE prize!
Great little package for those who need a microphone and direct box with phantom power. I own this setup myself and use them both often.
Tell you what Poppa W… as a gesture of good will, I will donate FOUR autographed copies of my press photo and a couple milligrams of navel lint from yours truly, 3M’ed to each photo as prizes. However, I DON’T want some stinkin’ opportunist EBayin’ 'em for a fast buck… Meh… nevermind!
D
PS I may still do the navel lint thing… lemme know if you’re interested… Have your machine call my machine.
BTW, I could use a new Mic and preamp… look out boys! I’m a dustin’ off the ol’ Strat…
D
That belly button lint would be the perfect prize for a ‘Silly Song’ Entrant that enters a song about philosopyzin’ and makes one ponder instead of laugh.
Not to mention any names here you understand…
I’ll take an autographed picture 
- we got a guinea pig for my baby grand daughter and I could tape it outside the cage door to keep it from exkapein’.
Naw… naw… NAW! You ain’t foolin’ me Poppa. This ain’t the first turnip truck I fell off’n…
I’ll not have guinea pig poo on MY photo’s! I can probably arrange for some 8 x 10 glossy’s of Billary if you like though… 
D
That’ll work just as well - maybe better!
By the way Poppa… on a serious note, all this BS I’m flingin’ is trying to serve a purpose. I wanna keep the thread highlighted and NOTICED by people when they drop in for a quick look at unread threads. Sticky threads are cool but it’s been my experience that they often get over-looked. Probably because people think they are rules or goofy informational threads or some such.
It’ll never cross their minds that it’s mostly some stupid oaf from Alabama spoutin’ Bovine droppings and they WILL click in to check out what’s happnin’…
D
Well I’ll be dipped! there’s a method to your madness - who’da thunk.
You’re a good man D.

Nudge... nudge...

Sounds rough!
There are a lot of really talented and professional musicians here…
Hey I know when I am out manned and out classed, hope no one minds if I sit this one out!
Good luck guys, regardless of who wins any one of you deserve it.
keep shinin’

Well that’s disappointing. Too afraid to lose to even try…
Why not challenge yourself Jeremy? No one gives a rat’s patoot who enters. I just want to enjoy everyone’s talent and gifts.
Come on… puleeeeeeeese?
I’m not worrying about winning. duh. It’s just a good excuse to get inspired again, fire up the amps, get this dang blister on my fingers from redoing bass tracks over and over again, et cetera. the fun is in creating, not necessarily winning (that’s what losers like me say). just wait till you hear the load of crap I’m working on now. eesh.
Hmmmm… maybe we ought to trash the cover song category and go with a “Load of Crap” one???
I’d fill that one up too quick Poppa W.
I did have a thought on a category that may or may not be a possibility though; LIVE Recordings. That would possibly be too limiting though. Not everybody gets to do big live recordings. Although someone could enter a simple stereo, two mic jobbie of cousin Merle’s jug band or something…
