Thanks to everyone who has been viewing "20 Beautiful Children" on the Guitar Center Singer Songwriter competition page. The song has moved into 39th place with over 100 points so far!  According to contest rules, the top 10 songs will be judged by industry experts to determine a winner. Right now, the top 10 go from about 400 votes (#10) to 850 (#2).  #1 has over 4000, but I don't think it really fits the competition.  You can track the video by looking at the "Browse" tab on the Singer Songwriter site and select "popular" sorting. 

"20 Beautiful Children" will gain points when you 1) watch the video and 2) share it to your social networking sites. Please do this as many times and on as many devices as you can over the next 2 weeks - The first 2-week contest ends September 14.  

Thanks for your support!  Here's the link in case you can't see the graphic on your mobile device.  

During the weeks of September 1-15, Guitar Center will be accepting votes for videos of original songs posted under the theme "tell us a story."  20 Beautiful Children is a reaction to the horrific events at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, written on that very day.  Please take a moment to vote for the video each day between now and then by clicking on the video to the left of this paragraph. Please share the contest entry by clicking on the icon that looks like a sideways "V" in the top right of the video window. 

Of course, donations are still being accepted for Newtown charities.  Thanks for your support!
