Okay, I did it. I threw my hat in the ring to win a chance to play at the Crossroads Festival in Chicago this summer.
In order to get there, I need votes – a lot of them. That’s where you come in.
Visit http://playcrossroads.com and register to vote by entering your email address and then confirming it (sorry about this step, but they have to know you’re a human – or close enough.) Here’s how that’s done…
When you first get to that page, the register link is the tab on the right:
Once you click that, you’ll see the register page. You’ll need a fan account which is the top radio button here:
Fill out the rest of the form and submit it. Then check your email for a link you have to click to verify your identity.
Then visit http://playcrossroads.com/griff3 and vote for the band there. Here’s the vote button:
While you’re there, feel free to listen to some tunes I posted. And you can make fun comments too.
That’s it. Thanks and I appreciate the help.
Griff
Hi Griff, It’s no wonder you and Marty are the two leading bands at the moment. You got my vote because you’ve given so much to us amateur players and my playing has come along so much under your instruction. I appreciate all you’ve put in to helping others.
Regards
Hutcho
Good luck Griff
Griff, I vote for you every day and I thank-you very much for all your help. When Evil Comes is great. It’s a HIT!

Hi Griff. I didnt want to use up too much space at your Crossroads site, but I really wanted you to know how much I like your song; “Where would I begin”. You have written and played many great songs, but this one just moves me in places I didnt think could feel anymore. A true blues tune. Congratulations my friens.
Don

Hi Griff,

TO: Students of GRIFF HAMLIN: Get out the vote! I’m guiltier than most for not voting often enough, so let’s go! Let’s close the gap and help OUR teacher get to The Windy City. A little extra effort on our part will may make the difference. I’m going to make myself a note, plaster it on my computer screen. Every student of Griff’s knows how much effort he put into his instructional DVD’s, and the quality (not to mention the value) of the product we received. So let’s go all you proud STUDENTS OF GRIFF HAMLIN. “Vote early, Vote often”! And now it’s on to Chicago!
Bill from St. Louis
Hey Griff -
Just voted for ya. You helped me with learning a Christmas tune, Mary Christmas Baby by Elvis Presley and you posted a lesson on the web http://www.bluesguitarunleashed.com/blog/79/merry-christmas-blues-lesson/ . It’s the least I could do to vote for you! Gook luck…

Anyone having problems with registration at the Play Crossroads note that you have to check the not-so-obvious terms agreement at the bottom of the registration page. This is what thwarted me the first time.
Voted. But it wasn’t easy. Good luck and thanks for your work,
John
