My collaborator and I won the popular vote and a $500 cash prize two days ago on the SongDoor 2014 songwriting contest ('Instrumentals' category). Billy Playle and I had worked together on two songs ('Near-Life Experience' and 'Enter My Keep') a couple of years ago. He created an instrumental based on each of the song tracks, and I posted them to the competition. We were one of the three finalists (one other guy had two tracks in the running as well). Though we missed out on being the category winner, it was a tremendous buzz simply having got both tracks into the Finals. And the cash prize was a nice bonus, and a neat way to begin the new musical year. Donna

Congratulations. I voted just about every day.First I voted for your other song until I realized which one was moving ahead so I got behind that one.

No fair, Donna:
You entered the contest with a "ringer!" That Playle can flail the keys with aplomb and panache. (You ain't too bad yourself!)
Congratulations,
Dave
