Winner of the Play For Me Contest 2 Announced
Winner of the "Play For Me Contest II" is Andy James
Well here we are again… that’s right, it’s result time for the 2nd annual "Play for me" event, and all I can say is "Wow!"
As expected, the task of choosing a winner this time around was tougher and much more time consuming due to the very high number of incredibly impressive entries resulting from a significantly higher number of participants.
After many many hours listening and evaluating, it eventually came down to 2 participants (Tom Quayle and Andy James), and after a few more hours and many more "listens", I finally made the decision to go with Andy from U.K.
Listen to the new album "Sound Proof" on imeem

Greg has recently packed up his belongings in Pennsylvania, headed westward, and is currently residing
in sunny southern California. The decision to relocate resulted from various recent factors. When
asked about the recent move, Greg said "There are a number of things, regarding my career, that have
come up recently and have definitely helped to initiate the decision to move plus the weather out here
is way more my style".
Online Video Guitar Lessons
The much anticipated guitar and music lessons by way of internet streaming are still very much in the works. "I've talked with a few different companies about the functionality of a site like this, so at this point it's just deciding on whom to go with". The web site will also allow members to interact in various ways such as participating in an ongoing guitar contest designed to help bring exposure and prizes (guitars & equipment) to unknown players who, after winning certain rounds, would be featured bi-weekly or monthly on the website. "This site is actually my biggest priority right now".
