Our very first summer song poem contest was a smash of harmonic awesomeness! We (Bookmans own Scott Landrum & Travis Spillers) set the customer’s poems alight with music! The poems covered anything from a very unhappy Alice in Wonderland to getting dirty in the backyard! Our grand prize winner ($100 Bookmans gift certificate) was Tuesday McCormick with her sassy "Backyard Song". Second prize (a sweet shiny blue acoustic guitar) went to Jane Smart for her touching "Sons and Daughters". Third prize went to Venis Gonzalez and her homage to her mother "Girlfriend, Hot Mama". Everyone walked away with a CD copy of their song poem and great big smiles in their hearts! All agreed that we should do it again soon (we had more entries than time). There’s even talk of a compilation of all the tunes. Best summer ever! Check out photos from the event on our Flickr page.
