Win a "Made in Manitoba" Book Contest

Due to some good luck, we managed to wind up with an autographed copy of acclaimed rock historian John Einarson's book titled Made in Manitoba: A Musical Legacy. So with Canada's Juno Awards coming up on April 2, it seems like a nice time to have a little contest for the autographed copy of the book.

The last time Thrasher's Wheat had a contest, we gave away a copy of The Greendale Songbook. Steve Cross won the songbook with his wonderful Don't Spook The Horse Quest tale.

Last year, we reviewed author Einarson's book and found it to be a fascinating chronicle of Manitoba, Canadian artists like Randy Bachman and the Guess Who. And some singer-songwriter named Neil Young.

Einarson has been a long time contributor to the Neil Young Appreciation Society's Broken Arrow Magazine, as well as, author of numerous books including Aurora: The Story of Neil Young & The Squires.

Of course, the book is of particular interest to Neil Young fans, tracing Neil's early travels with the Squires through the Winnipeg music scene in the 1960's.

John Einarson writes:

"One of the things I hope people who read the book come away with is an appreciation for the talent that has come from and continues to come from this province."

So here's the "contest". Real simple. Send in something for posting on Thrasher's Wheat. We'll see what comes in and pick a winner of Made in Manitoba: A Musical Legacy

Maybe a Neil Young concert memory? Or a Neil song story?

E-mail your Neil Young posting to thrasher ATSIGN thrasherswheat DOT org

Contest submissions due by March 17.

Last time, there were lots of really excellent entries that we weren't able to recognize. If you submitted something last time, please re-submit your entry again!

One last note, the book is autographed "To Bill".
