Sing for free tickets to Gordon Lightfoot
February 13, 2008 at 4:42 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in Inside CLFor reasons I don’t entirely understand, there are six tickets on my desk to Gordon Lightfoot’s concert at Cobb Energy Centre Friday, Feb. 15, at 8 p.m.
I can’t go to the concert, so you can have the tickets for free.
All you have to do is call my office voicemail and sing me one of the following three Gordon Lightfoot songs: “Sundown,” “If You Could Read My Mind” and “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”
Sing me at least 15 seconds of “Sundown” and, bam, you qualify for two tickets. Sing me at least 15 seconds of “If You Could Read My Mind” and, bam, you qualify for two tickets. Sing me the first three verses of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” and you qualify for two tickets. Sing all three and you may get all six tickets.
Be sure to tell me your name and how to reach you. You can pick up the tickets at our office.
In the unlikely event that more than one person calls me for this contest, I’ll divide up the tickets between my favorite entrants.
My office phone is 404-614-1888. The deadline is 9 a.m. Friday.
Note: I may record your singing and put it on this blog. Naturally, I will not include your contact info in the podcast.
Good luck and God speed!
(Gordon Lightfoot, you are not eligible to participate.)

“For reasons I don’t entirely understand, there are six tickets on my desk to Gordon Lightfoot’s concert at Cobb Energy Centre Friday, Feb. 15, at 8 p.m.”
I seem to remember certain things being sung by a certain someone, but I won’t name names or give away lyrics. It’s a natural law: sing lightfoot, tickets land on desk.

Perhaps I should call my own voice mail and try to win them.

DAMMIT! I’m going to be out of town! I can sing his entire catalog! Oh Gordon I’m sorry to abandon you.

I need to check my voicemail first.

Dang it, I already have tickets.
Totally not kidding.
They’re a Valentines present from my sweetie, b/c GL reminds me of roadtrips with my folks.
Maybe I should call and sing to you anyway…

I just left a voicemail for you.
dude, that was from memory, no google-ing lyrics.
I also do a killer “Care Free Highway”

I just heard it. It was great.
You’re definitely in the running.

I’ve never enjoyed checking my voicemail as much as I do today. I wish I had enough tickets for everyone.
