Ok, end of the line for Jaw and Jo. the top 5 were picked:
BLUE LUNCH, CLEVELAND, OH; SAXOPHONE SHOOTOUT II......
BAD INFLUENCE, FREDERICK, MD; UNDER THE INFLUENCE.....
MIKEY JR, JERSEY SHORE; IT AIN'T HARD TO TELL....
DAVE KELLER, RHODE ISLAND; WHERE I'M COMING FROM....
SUZIE VINNICK, TORONTO, CANADA; ME N MABEL....
We want to congratulate all the folks who made it to the top 5. We prefer to believe that we were #6!
From where we're sitting, getting to the top 30 WORLD WIDE was just awesome for a couple of gray headed part time musicians. the cats we were up against were full time players with thousands of dollars worth of gear and recording stuff.
Our cd initially cost $65 to record in a friend's spare room, through 2 mics and 2 channels, into a MAC computer. Mastering was done free by another friend.
For a total GRASS ROOTS effort to go the distance it has, that's just a life time achievement for us personally. Sure, we'd have loved to keep going, but there is no bitterness here. We have been in such good company all this while. We thank all you well-wishers for sending your good vibes our way.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME!

Many congratulations on making it top 30 world wide in the competition! Sounds like the music really pulled through even with the simple recording. Looks like you had some tough competition. I definitely dig your duo. I'm buddies with Mikey Jr, crazy to see him in the top 5. It Aint Hard to Tell is one of the better traditional blues albums I bought last year, IMO. I bet higher production went into it.
