WE WON the WKZE contest!!!

We entered the WKZE Valentine's Day contest and we WON!!!  The winning entry was the video for my song Buttered Toast that my amazing friend Emily Bennison made.  She did a fantastic job with the stop animation and overall sweetness.  The contest was for any artistic expression having to do with love, we were chosen as one of eight finalists and then won in a random draw of those eight!!  The video stars me and my partner Jacinta Bunnell!!   Jacinta and I were listening live on the radio, driving through Rosendale, when they announced it and we nearly drove off the side of the road in excitement!!  Scroll down a little below to see the video! (first turn off the music on the website music player bar at the bottom of your screen)  And give your love and support to my favorite local music station by listening to WKZE on 98.1 here in the Hudson valley or by streaming it live on their site.  Big thanks to Elizabeth's Jewelry, Marion Salon Spa, and The Rhinecliff Hotel for the lovely gifts!!!  Also feel free to call WKZE to encourage them to play some Michael Truckpile!! 1-866-393-9810 YAY!! WE WON!!  Emily and I are splitting the prizes!!!
