The Greencards Giving Away A Mandolin
The online bluegrass magazine, Cybergrass, reports that The Greencards are running a contest to promote their album, Viridian, to be released on March 6th. The winner of the contest will receive a mandolin courtesy of Collings Mandolins, second place will receive a video iPod, third will get two tickets to a Greencards concert, and five fourth place winners will receive an autographed poster of the band and a copy of their new CD. To enter, you must tell all your friends about the new album by forwarding them an email.
Seeing as I wanted to start learning to play the mandolin, I figured I would give the contest a try. Unfortunately, after I entered every single email address I could think of, I was still one spot away from even receiving a poster and CD. I guess I just don’t have enough friends, so if any of y’all out there have more friends than me and wanna give the contest a shot, go check out The Greencards MySpace page for the details.

We've labored long and hard to come up with our list of the Top 10 Country Albums of 2008. Click here to see who claimed the honor of the year's top album, as chosen by The 9513's staff and writers.
Don’t confuse disappointing with worst, as that list would most likely be dominated by obscure indie knockoff bands along with a couple of mainstream releases. There has to be a modicum of expectation that’s dashed upon the release of an album for it to qualify for the year’s most disappointing.
Join host Kelly Dearmore as he shines the light on several noteworthy album releases you might have missed and interviews various artists, from Sarah Borges to Trent Willmon and Reckless Kelly to Wade Bowen, in the first two episode of The 9513 podcast.Tagged In This Article

You know . . . I would LOVE to learn to play mandolin! It’s such an amazing instrument! Plus I’m practically in love with Chris Thile, so . . . you know, that’s a bonus. We could talk the language of love . . . via mandolin . . .

It would be pretty sweet to get a new mandolin. I got up to number five, thanks to my fiance, but alas, I’m dropping pretty fast.

Those guys toured with Willie last summer in Canada, I think, and friends who got to see them loved them. I would love to win the tickets, but too much going on at work today to be a contender.
Good luck to anyone who plays. E-mail me!
