Each one is someone just like me and just as passionate about their particular genre of music. In fact, some of them put me to shame. There are those who post 3 or 4 times a day. I prefer to stick to a one-a-day schedule, but that’s because, generally speaking, not much changes from day to day in the jazz and blues world.

Well, one of my fellow bloggers is having a contest and it is a very cool contest and I hope you don’t mind if I diverge from talking about Sad Salamanders and Miles Davis and point you to it. You only have until May 25th to enter and you can win a $25 iTunes Gift Card.

Click right HERE for the contest along with the rules and the place to enter. The blog is called “Crooner Culture.” Hey, folks, it’s $25 and as much music as you can download for that amount.

Perhaps one of these days I will manag to get my stuff together enough to have a contest or giveaway of my own. I probably should make sure I know the proper rules for giving away stuff and then find some cool prizes first. I doubt an empty can of peaches or a used nail clipper would really appeal to anyone.

Hey, you can always stand to learn about another Jazz musician, plus it’s a great reminder about the iPod contest that b5media is holding.

Well, right now they have a contest going for you, the dear reader, that could help you win an iPod.  It’s a great way to bring all of your favorite jazz and blues music with you wherever your go and, well, it’s a contest, so it’s a great way to get a free one.

I am going to stick the link for his over to the right as well, but I wanted to post about as well, because it’s cool and you should know about it.

Here’s the link, but look for it to the right side of the page later on.

Thanks!
