I PROMISED I WOULD LET ALL THE FANS AND FRIENDS KNOW WHEN SOMETHING COOL CAME UP!!!

  Thanks to Morey Asato for badgering me into entering BOTH contests at the Del Mar Fair this year.  I am in the final round for: Singer Songwriter Contest! If my songs "Willemina" and "The Native Hymn" win, I could walk away with A NEW TAYLOR GUITAR,  5 HOURS OF FREE RECORDING TIME, AAAAND... $3.000.00 IN PRIZE MONEY!   THAT'S ALOT OF STUDENT LOAN PAYMENTS! LOLOLOL!  ...No... really.  : )

   "WooooHOOOOOO, WILLEMINAAAA! WOOOHOOO!!! " 

 I'M ALSO A FINALIST FOR THE CANTAUTOR CONTEST, WHICH IS A COMPETITION FOR THE BEST SPANISH SONG AND PERFORMANCE!

  If  I wiin BOTH, I could win $6.000.00!  TWO Taylor Guitars, 10 hours of studio time, AND MAKE LOCAL HISTORYYYYYYY!!!   So come be a (possible) part of HISTORY IN THE MAKING!   Now THAT would be a story!
