Open Mic Finals Here

August 13, 2006

The results of the monthly Open Mic contests are in! Now, the three winners and six runners-up will battle it out with three additional wildcard entries for an invitation to perform at the 40th Kent State Folk Festival in November. Please take a moment, listen to the final 12 (I like to pop the list into an auto playlist that will play them all in a row) and pick your favorite.

Remember - only one vote per registered user! We are aware that some folks think they're helping their favorites by finding ways to vote multiple times. Please don't! Cheating will only hurt the competitor and could cause their song to be disqualified. And nobody wants that! So, let's keep it clean out there and vote once. All of the finalists are well deserving and this should be fun. You have until Mon., Aug. 28 at 5 p.m. ET (GMT -5) to lock in your vote. Yahoo!

A reminder to about the voting system. When you see the check mark appear in the box on the screen, YOU ARE NOT DONE. In order for the vote to be final and official, you must scroll down to the bottom of the voting page and hit the bar that says "Lock in and finalize my vote".

If you don't do this at some point during the contest, it is like you never cast a vote at all, and you won't be able to see where your favorite song stands in the running.

I'm biting my nails again...I'll just clip them all off - that should solve everything.

Folk music is like poetry
Good poetry invokes emotions
Jim Pipkin invokes emotions in me like no other. His music is the best poetry I have listened to in a decade.
