Emails are being sent to the winners. Please respond to my home address at earsuckerATgmail.com with your complete names and addresses so that I can get your prizes in the mail!!!

A big thank you to all who entered!!!!!!!!

I’ve already selected a random winner for the guitar. After all of the entries received and the stumbles and links, I have entered everyone’s info into an Excel spreadsheet which assigned them a number.

Then I put the numbers into a randomizer and came up with just the guitar winner so far.

I’m going to be emailing the winner today from work when I get there. At which time, I’ll be randomly selecting the winners of the final prizes.

A list will be published later on today.

Can’t wait to hear some reactions.

On a side note, if you tried to leave a comment with a musical memory after the 6pm EST cut off time, it was not included in the giveaway. Sorry, but I established a cutoff time so that I could get my crap together.

As for all of you who commented with your musical memories, you rock. That, in itself, made this giveaway a success.

More details to come shortly, stay tuned :)

Just a quick word to let all of you know that the giveaway I’m holding TO WIN A FREE GUITAR is ending tomorrow. Any comments submitted after 6pm EST will be disregarded for the giveaway.

And tomorrow, of course, is also my son Justin’s 9th birthday. Yay!

If you want to be in the drawing, all you have to do is leave a comment here, telling me about a musical memory that you have. Telling me how cool of a giveaway this is will not grant you an entry, even though I appreciate all of your kind words.

Also, just fyi, Scott is holding two contests with some pretty nifty prizes. At The Rock Dose, you can win four CDs, details here. And at his other blog, Metal Martyr, you can win an autographed copy of Divine Heresy’s Bleed The Fifth.

What are you waiting for!!!! Get on it!

In case you missed it, I am giving away an absolutely free guitar with no strings attached. It was donated for this giveaway by the kind, wonderful people at Fretlight.com, and they rock.

If you haven’t entered yet, feel free to leave a comment on this post, or this one. And the catch is, not just any comment will do…it HAS to be a musical memory of some sort. You can tell me what song reminds you of a certain event or something that really stood out in your mind about music.

Just telling me how cool I am for having this contest/giveaway is not going to cut it. I already know how cool I am :)

Random winners will be chosen to win the guitar, the iPod speakers, musical toothbrushes, and more!

Giveaway started on May 19th, when my oldest son turned thirteen and ends on June 18th….which happens to be the day my youngest son Justin turns nine.

What are you waiting for?!??!????

Wanna win a cool new guitar????

Fretlight, the cool people that make guitars that have lights on the frets for learning how to play, has graciously sent us a cool, black guitar for our wonderful giveaway, so special thanks to them, they rock!!

The above model is what I received in the mail and it will arrive in the same pristine shape that you see in the picture. It’s cool, it’s black, it rocks, and the best thing is, you can win one free.

(Editor’s Note: The guitar that is being given away is not a lefty as you see here, it was the only really good picture I could find. Thanks Scott!)

All you have to do is leave a comment with your best musical memory. For extra entries, you can stumble this post (and comment to let me know you did) and link to it. So, all in all, you have three chances to win!!

ALSO (yes, there’s more!), second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh place will not go home empty handed, either!

The wonderful people at iMainGo have sent us some iPod/Zune/iPhone portable speakers that will rock your socks off! Here’s a pic with the specs:

Check them out here.

Third, fourth, and fifth place prizes will be these cool Turbo Tooth Tunes toothbrushes!

I have three of those for the giveaway. These rockin’ toothbrushes actually play two full minutes of a cool song to ensure that your little one brushes for the proper amount of time.

I have High School Musical 2, Hannah Montana, and Kiss!! The HSM one plays, “What Time Is It”, Hannah Montana’s is “We Got The Party” and the Kiss one plays, “Rock ‘n Roll All Nite”.

Here’s a pic of what they look like:

Sixth place will receive a CD by Laura Bryna, she’s a country artist who, my mother says, sounds like LeeAnn Womack (not sure who that is…lol). Stay tuned for the official review by my mother. She’s an avid fan of country music and says this CD is way cool.

And, last but not least, two final winners will receive a copy of Kimberly Cole’s new CD single, “Nitty Gritty”. She reminds me of Gwen Stefani a bit and she’s up-and-coming. Check her out, she may just be the next pop queen! (Stay tuned for the review on this one, too.)

So what are you waiting for, leave me a memory and get the ball started!!!

This giveaway is going to run for an entire month and ends on June 18th. At that time, I will randomly select all of the winners through a randomizer, and email you for your address.

If you’re one of the lucky winners, you can come back on the site and do a guest post, reviewing the gift that you received from Earsucker.

Remember, you have three chances to win! A musical memory comment, a stumble, or a link to this post.

(Incidentally, the guitar is not for a lefty, as the picture would suggest.)
