My song “north” has been named a Top 12 finalist in the 2009 New York Songwriters Circle Songwriting Contest. It’s like a song-off… you know, as in dance-off? A sleep-off would be fun. I know a few friends who could defeat nearly anyone in that… my wife would be the Grand Champion for sure. She’s like Dormius, the Goddess of Sleep.

Anyway, the Finals take place on Wednesday 18 November at The Bitter End in NYC, where the Top 12 will be played live before the judges, one of which is John Oates. No, not the Yacht Rock “get your dick out of your heart” John Oates, the real John Oates, who no longer wears a moustache.

If “north” makes the top 5 that night, then we play again on Thursday 19 November, with the winner declared that evening. Either way, the Peculier Pub awaits me afterward.
