Announcing: The 10,000 Comment Contest

This site is nearing 10,000 comments. More precisely, we’re a little over 100 comments away. I mention this primarily because I had so much fun with the 3rd Anniversary concert that I thought this would be a fun excuse for another contest.

  • Grand Prize (10,000th comment):
    • Liberty Quartet’s brand new CD The Journey—which hasn’t yet been reviewed here yet (but I can already tell you it will get 5 stars. It’s that good.)
    • Voices Won’s brand new CD Something For Everyone
    • Dixie Melody Boys Vintage (cassette – with Harold Reed, Devin McGlamery, Derrick Selph, and Ed O’Neal)
    • The Wilburns’ Where He Leads (cassette – with Loren Harris on lead)
    • The Greenes And The Walls Came Down Live with Orchestra (cassette)
  • Gold Prize (10,001th comment)
    • Dixie Melody Boys Heading Home (cassette)
    • Paid in Full In All I Do (cassette)
  • Silver Prize (10,005th comment)
    • The Wilburns Blessings (cassette)
  • Bronze Prize (10,010th comment)
    • N’Harmony Keep On (cassette)

All titles are either sealed or played once before I realized they were duplicates.

A couple of rules:

  1. If one of the prize-winning comments is made by one of the staff of this site (that’s a fancy term for Sony and me, who are volunteers!) or members of their immediate families, the next qualifying post will be the winner of that prize.
  2. Inconsequential posts such as “Lol,” “Yeah,” “I agree,” or “great post” will not be counted. The next qualifying post will win. (Edit: If you post a number of identical posts on different threads, they will be counted as inconsequential posts!)

And if you’d like post suggestions, here are a couple of posts that didn’t get the attention they deserved:

And here are a few more that did spark interesting discussions:

    This should be very interesting, Daniel!!

  2. Matt Paasch says:

    I’ve been reading your blogs through Google Reader, and don’t always pop on to the actual site to comment. I guess I should!

    I think you’ll be hearing more from me!! ;)

  3. Dean Adkins says:

    Cassettes? No 8-tracks?

  4. Paul the Concert Guy says:

    Someone broken into my car and installed an 8 track player…what a dirty trick! Just kidding!

  5. Tell you what Daniel, if you’ll send me the address of the winner VW will send them a copy of “Something For Everyone” it will even be on CD!!

    I read almost all of your blogs but only comment to a few, in fact this is the one blog I go to first every morning and evening.

  7. David J. Stuart says:

    Well, i’ll make a comment and hope it is me!!!

  8. Hmmm great Idea Daniel… :)

  9. Less than 100 to go!

  10. Amy Rogers says:

    Well, you would pick while I’m out of the country! Now I am never gonna be able to keep up reading the comments when I’m online about once a day! Can’t post as often either. :(

    :)

    • Hey, it wasn’t me who picked how fast readers were going to comment!

      And who knows–maybe some weird time will be the time that grand prize comment is made!

      • Amy Rogers says:

        Hey, maybe it’s even right now. Or not. You sure aren’t lacking for commenters right now! I need to write another post on my blog … we’ll see when that happens.

  11. Aaron Swain says:

    And maybe that weird time is here!

  12. Donna says:

    Daniel, this is a very neat idea!!!! And, congratulations in advance for #10,000!!!! You have worked very hard and I salute your efforts!!!

    I was so happy to find Liberty Quartet’s “The Journey” in the mail when I got home from work a few minutes ago. I am on Track 5 on my first time through… I am lovin’ it, and can see why you are going to give it five stars. There’s not a lot of straightforward southern gospel so far, but I am still REALLY liking what I am hearing. It’s totally top notch! I would love to have the 10Kth comment, also, as I have a LOT of places I could put another copy of that CD! :-)

  14. Well, we have less than 50 to go! :)

    Who knows. Maybe you will be the one. :)

  15. We’re significantly less than 50 now. :lol:
