Congratulations to CoolBus!!! He won the Amazon Gift Certificate Random Draw. Your $50.00 gift card has been emailed… Thanks everyone for your overwhelming support! I have a few more surprises in store in the weeks to come… Stay tuned!!!

As I mentioned in my previous Delta Blues Book Giveaway post last week, I wanted to give some of my readers outside North America a chance to win something as well. So I’m offering one Amazon gift certificate valued at $50.00 dollars U.S. The winner will be able to use this for many of the terrific items on the Amazon website. This gift certificate is available for my readers in the United States, France, Germany, UK, Japan, Canada and China. When the winner is drawn and confirmed, I will send the certificate by email… Not a major prize here, just a way of saying thanks for being there and stopping by The Blues Blogger’s home on the net. And for celebrating my 2nd Anniversary this month!

For Extra Entries Into The Draw

You will still need to subscribe for 1 entry and for the chance to win… But I will also add 1 extra entry for anybody that adds a comment to this post and another for anyone who re-tweets this post on Twitter by hitting the green retweet button below. (If you retweet you should really leave a comment here on the blog letting me know you did. This will allow better tracking and gives you 3 entries into the draw.)

Deadline

The random prize draw will end November 4th 2009 at 11:00 pm eastern standard time in the U.S. The winner will have 24 hours to respond or a new entry will be drawn… Of course it wouldn’t be the same if I didn’t end a blues blogger post with a song. Here’s one to get you rockin’

Have Fun and Good Luck,

The Blues Blogger

Congratulations to Jan R-B!!! She is the winner of the Delta Blues Book Giveaway. Jan is also known as @LOLAsFeedAnFuel on twitter… Thanks to everyone who entered the draw.

Delta Blues: The Life and Times of the Mississippi Masters Who Revolutionized American Music

As a way of saying thank you to all readers of TheBluesBlogger, and at the same time have a little fun, I’m giving away one copy of the book Delta Blues by Ted Gioia. This is the hard cover edition of the book that takes a historical journey through time and examines the mood and atmosphere that is the basis for most popular music we know and love today. Gioia provides insight into the early life and career of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf and B.B. King. From the novice lover of the blues to the most knowledgeable music fan, this is a book I’m sure you’ll find intriguing.

This blog started as a therapeutic means for me to deal with the aftershock of my heart attack 2 years ago this month. TheBluesBlogger was a comfortable vehicle for me to share my personal experiences and merge them together with my love of music and writing… Since then it has grown beyond my wildest expectations. Over the past 2 years, I’ve received some extremely positive and heart felt messages in which I’m eternally grateful. To all readers of this blog old and new, thanks for letting me share my thoughts along with the music and the times I so fondly remember. And of course the new sounds that continue to inspire and motivate me. Your comments, input and words of encouragement mean more to me than I can ever say…

All The Best,

TheBluesBlogger
