CONTEST: Poker and Music - Winner Announced!

Posts: 2913 · Posted: 21.10.2007, 10:08

Hi PCers!

I advise my scholars not to listen to music while they are playing poker online, because it can be distracting. One or two words in a song grab your attention and WHAM! You missed some important action that an opponent made which could have told you a lot! (Instead, you were daydreaming about some old flame whom those words reminded you of.)

But when you are NOT in a game, LET IT BLARE!

One of you will will win $30 in this contest! And all you have to do for a chance to make it you, is tell us your favorite kind of music. It is not required, but would make more interesting reading for your fellow PCers if you would also name a few songs and a few singers you like.

This should be a really easy and also fun $30.

Deadline: last day of the month.

Remember: You must have 3000 PC points to redeem for your cash if you win. If you do not have 3000, you will receive the 3000 PC points in lieu of the cash, so you will have them next time you win.

Remember: If you win and live in the USA, you must PM Geno, if you have not already (only once is necessary) and give him youe QuickTender account number. Everybody, no matter where you live, must have an online banking site that we also use, so we will know where to send your money.

Remember: Instead of cash, if you win, you MAY choose Crusher merchandise of an equal value. Find our Crusher store in the dark red area at the top of every page. The quality of the merchandise is superior!

Winners will be chosen at complete and total blind random, so every entrant has a chance of winning. (If people start slacking off in the quality of their entries, just to get something entered, that practice will change and only the entry judged the best will win!) (Yes, the Guru has to be a meanie and run a tight ship, in order to assure fairness to all.)

That's it, PCers! Let's hear what you like to hear!

When I listen to the radio I always have it on the Oldies but Goodies station as I am the 50's - 60's - 70's person Motown and blues.

But I like almost any kind of music but Acid Rock. I love soul music, jazz but not all kinds. It really depends on my mood what I listen to.

I love listening to French songs though I don't understand what they are saying I love Garou and Barzotti. I really will have to learn French some day.

I used to go crazy over Tom Jones. SEXY SEXY man!

While I like pretty much all types of music, I like Country Music most of all. I was brought up listening to singers like Hank Williams, Stonewall Jackson, Kitty Wells and my all time favorite Gentleman Jim Reeves. Jim sang some country classics like "Roly Poly", "Scarlet Ribbons", "A Fallen Star" and "You Belong To Me". I think one of my all time favorites by Jim Reeves was "A Railroad Bum"
Spook

Love all kinds of music....for oldies my favorite is sammy davis, Jr and old country similar to spook's list (makes me think of my mother who played the stuff all the time while i grew up). When i was growing up listened to the Moody Blues a lot, was and still am a huge barry manilow fan. For todays music, Pink is one of the best new stars i've like in many years...some of her songs are better than therapy sessions (not that i need therapy sessions...lol). For country i like Toby Keith, Sara Evans and Rascal Flats
Some of my all time favorite songs are obscure, but check them out some time: Who needs to dream? Sandra and I am Your Child by Manilow
Heirlooms-amy grant
If you know what i mean--neil diamond
and, oh yeah, the theme to Petticoat Junction....those girls were HOT!

I love all kinds of music! From Elvis Presley, Hank Williams Sr., to Godsmack, Led Zeppelin etc.

Female favorites are of 2 singers Linda Rondstadt and Patty Loveless

Growing up I used to always listen to music and say "oh that's my favorite
song" My older sis used to always say " Every song is your favorite"
I finally grew out of that phase Lol!
