I saw the title for this post and my first thought was that it was going to be your “I lost the contest” report!

This is Clif from FramesDirect.com assuring you that you were not the only entry, however, since we had only asked people to submit links to songs, or song names, we were BLOWN AWAY by your original composition…everyone here in the FD offices loves it…in fact one of our guys in marketing made it his phone ringtone. We are shooting the video Friday and it should be done and viewable on our Facebook page next week.

That’s right–big news people: I WON! Yes, that’s right. The Frames Direct people deemed my Robot Dance Music the best of the best. Numero Uno. The Champ. The King of the Hill.

That being said, I have a sneaking suspicion that I was the only entry…

But no matter, this will look great on my resume. Here’s a picture of me celebrating in my office, the place where the musical magic happens: http://www.gregscheer.com/musicblog/greg_wins_robot_contest.jpg. By the way, I’m holding my prize–$20 worth of free music at iTunes.

Now I’m waiting for the Frames Direct people to keep their promise of making a video of their employees dancing to the song. In the meantime, I’m still waiting for subscribers of this blog to take up the challenge of creating a super cool dance video to my super cool, award winning song.

You need to update this post with the big news!

Comment on Greg’s Internet Trumpet Debut by S. Wynia

I think the”rawness” of your tone on the trumpet works great for this song…sounds a bit like Satchmo’s rough-around-the-edges sound. This song has a very nice easy feel to it too..nice job!

I liked them all! Even the middle one was better than a lot of stuff in the hymnbook….

It passed the Theo dance test with flying colors!

Comment on The Making of Psalm 29 by S. Wynia

I think that version 2 is the most sing-able in terms of having less wandering through odd lands of flats and sharps. However, the end came a little abruptly. Not being near any musical instruments (only scientific instruments right here in the lab), I can’t play around with it on the keys to see what I think would improve it. I think you have a really good start to a song here though. I’ve watched this video in between doing experiments over the past 30 mins and the tune definitely gets stuck in my head-the sign of a good hook.

By the way, did I ever tell you about FAWM? February Album Writing Month? FAWM.org is the website. If anything, you should at least check it out and see what other people are posting in terms of new songs. I think you’d really dig the site, even if you don’t get to the 14 songs in 28 days.

My wife’s comment may lead some of you to believe that she is mean. But the reality is that she just gets a kick out of writing inappropriate comments on my blog and then giving me a hard time if I delete them.

Plus, I bore her…
