Giveaway Winners Announced

Lookie what I haaaave. One of the Rick Tiger “Thought I’d Be Home By Now” CDs that we ran in a giveaway last week. A panel of judges voted on your comments to choose a winner… and I thought I’d share them with everyone!

Martha wrote…Great listening! Reminds me of my childhood when the relatives would get together on a saturday night and just play music. Everyone had a chance to express their feelings through music and that’s what I hear in Rick’s CD. The true to heart feelings that come through each song. Good job Rick. Look forward to hearing you cut another CD soon.

Anne wrote… I like honest, genuine music, that’s this CD. The fact that I’ve met some of the people who helped make this music is just icing on the cake – I’d love to share the songs and feelings with a friend. :)

Brett wrote… I listened to this album and I can say that it is one that you can just press play and let it roll. Rick delivers these 10 songs in a manner that makes you want to listen because you hear the truth in it and you capture the feeling of pure emotion in the lyrics.

Thank you to ALL of our entrants!! Your support of this project and interest in sharing the music means a lot to Rick and everyone involved.

If you are interested in the CD, remember you can pick it up at iTunes and CD Baby. Winners check your email for how to receive your prizes… Rick would like to drop the CDs in the mail tomorrow, so you get them by Christmas.

I have closed comments on the other post, but I welcome anyone wishing to still comment on the CD and leave their feedback to do so here!

Thought I’d Be Home By Now… Giveaway!

011: CD listening partyHave you ever had a CD that you just loved that you wished you could share with everyone you know? I’m betting you have… and you probably just copied it using your computer and burned it to another CD to share. Am I right?

Well, I happen to have a CD I love — that I am in fact proud to have been a part of the making — and instead of burning a copy for friends, I’m giving away copies for you to share yourself!

Rick Tiger’s “Thought I’d Be Home By Now” is available for purchase through iTunes and CD Baby. It’s a labor of love for everyone involved. Rick is a dear friend, one who has totally taken me, my husband, and countless others under his wings. Several friends call him, “Daddy Rick” and that about sums it up right there.

So, as I said, this CD is one we were all honored to be a part of making.

From Rick’s own liner notes:

Here is a total labor of love mixed with honesty, emotion and humility. I am so blessed and humbled to be a part of it. I have been a fortunate and lucky man most of my life and this project is no different. It is surrounded by the incredible talent of some endearing friends of mine. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we had creating and when you reach the final note I hope you know me and who I am a little more. God Bless.

Outside of it being a special CD for those involved its just REALLY GREAT MUSIC. Music presented by the man who wrote the songs… the love and emotions in the songs are impossible to miss. The talent of the musicians and engineers who contributed their time and talent to the album just put that finishing touch to each track. If you haven’t heard the album, you can hear clips of each song over on CDBaby and get a little taste of what I am talking about.

I’ve watched people purchase multiple copies to share with friends and family, and it got me thinking… I’d like to host a giveaway of the CD. So I approached Rick with the idea, and he was all for it… in fact he upped the prize…

Three (3) copies to a first place winner, Two (2) copies to a second place winner, and One (1) copy to a third place winner. All autographed. WOW!!

So here is how you enter to win… as I said, this is in the spirit of sharing great music, so what I am asking you to do to enter to win is simple… between now and Sunday, December 18, in the comments below simply tell me in 50 words or less how YOU best describe this album and why you want to share it with friends and family.  The winners will be picked by voting next week. Make sure you leave your name and email so I can let you know you won!

If by some chance you just don’t want to take your chances with the giveaway, you can pick up copies via CD Baby and iTunes (where you can also gift it to a friend!).

Disclaimer for the lawyer types: I’m not receiving any compensation for holding this Giveaway outside of the joy of sharing friends’ work with others. Otherwise, we’re music-types. We’re all broke. So there. Thanks!

Okay, with that little unpleasantness over with… get to describing this album! GO!
