How's it going? I'm good. I had a good old Saint Patty's day with lots of beer and corned beef and cabbage and fried fish and then tonight I had church. Now I am going to send this email and read my book and then go to bed.

(I'm reading Gore Vidal's "Lincoln" and I love it. Tobacco stains all over the White House carpet. Spittoons at every chair. Eww, now that I think about it.)

So, I could use your vote in this contest:

I am one of 8 featured artists at LiveAudioMag.com, an online music magazine which features North Carolina musicians and songwriters. Currently the magazine is holding a promotional contest which allows people to register for free and vote for their favorite artist. The musician or band with the most votes gets $1000.

If you are willing to vote for me, go to LiveAudioMag.com and click on the link that says "Vote for your favorite Artist Free! (no credit card required)." After you register (they just ask for name and email), look for the link that says "the Official Vote."

This contest ends at the end of March.
