    I posted my rendition of the song a la acoustic fingerstyle on youtube. It was really cool seeing Steve doing the song "Dear Mr. Fantasy" on the Crossroads Festival video! Cheers!

    Haha, I hope you aren't going to give that coupon that expires on Dec 9, 2009 to the 3rd prize winner if the contest isn't over for 4 more months.

    Just curious about the rules. Is the singer limited to using instruments he or she can physically play in a single take of the song? I gather I'm not supposed to tape or program accompaniment tracks, have a small band backing me, or hire the London Philharmonic string section, even if it's my own arrangement and I do play the lead part on tuba. ha!

    What a cool idea... Ok, the song "Can't find my way home" is not for the faint of heart... you have to have chops and singing it is not as easy as Steve makes it look... We do it in my band... and we will be entering...
    Good Luck to everyone...
