radiogoddess Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 I have issue with #6... Tim McGraw starred in "The Blind Side" in 2009, which earned a total box office of nearly $256 million. His #1 song "Southern Voice" was played during the closing credits. I still got #1 wrong, though...dangit!
Brad_M Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Posted June 9, 2012 You are correct, radiogoddess. I made a notation to check that answer when I read your entry but forgot to check it later on. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. The good news is, there's no dangit for you. That correct answer actually makes you this month's winner. No one got all 10 answers correct this month, so it was the tie-breaker to decide between all entrants who got 9 answers correct. You were the closest with the answer to the tie-breaking question. I will notify Carl and have him contact you for your info to send out your Songfacts t-shirt. I will also ask Carl to send a t-shirt to Roy, since I erred in announcing that he was the winner this month. I think that would be fair.
Kevin Posted June 20, 2012 Report Posted June 20, 2012 Congrats ,radiogoddess ! And I will announce that Brad is also sending a t-shirt to Kevin just because he's a great guy !
Brad_M Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Posted June 21, 2012 My goof has already cut into the Songfacts profit margin drastically, Kevin. Sending a t-shirt to Japan would have us operating in the red this month and we won't be able to make payroll, but I will add your name to our "t-shirts for great guys" list that we have lying around the office somewhere, as soon as I can find it.
radiogoddess Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 My name is on the "still waiting to be contacted by Carl" list, but only once.
Brad_M Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Posted June 27, 2012 Radiogoddess, I apologize that you haven't been contacted yet. I did send a correction to Carl that you were the winner for the month of May but I think he may have missed it, since it was part of the original quiz winner email. I just sent him another notice tonight, asking if he saw my corrected winner email. When I hear from him, I will post in this thread to let you know that he has replied. Then you will be hearing from Carl to get your info for sending you the Songfacts t-shirt that you earned. Thank you for your patience. They say that good things come to those who wait.
Brad_M Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Posted June 28, 2012 RG, I heard from Carl. He sent you an email.
