I started to put this in Bill's thread about Jazz, but decided not to hijack that thread with my personal request :)
In short - my cousin's band - le Percolateur, in Chicago, has a chance to open for Bela Fleck and The Fleckstones. His band describes their music as "hipster gypsy jazz" and many of their songs are written by my cousin, Sam. Chicago Bluegrass and Blues is hosting the contest and will pick the winner from among the top five finalists. le Percolateur is currently in 8th place. If you have a minute and don't mind, we'd appreciate a vote (http://cbbfestival.com/contests/profile.php?aid=160) for him - there are a couple of direct links to their music on the contest page (http://cbbfestival.com/contests/profile.php?aid=160) and their website address (http://www.lepercolateur.com) is there as well for more music. (It's a myspace page and loads pretty slowly.)
Thanks!
Oh and if you want the longer version and a chance to win a gift card... drop by my blog post (http://crazydogslife.blogspot.com/2009/10/pretty-please-with-gift-certificate-up.html) about this. And Steve... if I'm breaking rules here, delete this thread - no hard feelings!
