Guitar Winner!

The Story

Most of the people visiting this site will know the story but I will repeat it here for those that don't.

In January (2001) I was listening to my favourite radio station (newly converted to all Jazz -- CJRT -91.1 www.jazz.fm) - they announced that one of their sponsors was running a contest to win a guitar - so I quickly jumped over to the sponsor's website (the National Post) and entered the contest. The contest was co-sponsored by the National Post, mymusic.ca -- an online CD retailer, and Warner Music Canada.

The guitar was a Fender Stratocaster autographed by Eric Clapton and B.B King as part of the promotion for their (now) Grammy winning blues duet album - "Riding with the King".

Anyway early in February a lady from Warner Music Canada telephoned and said I had won the guitar and arranged a presentation ceremony for February 22.

All pictures are thumbnails with links to a larger 640x480 version of the picture.
