[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Roots rockin', hip-shakin', soul-swayin' music!" Playlist for April 20, 1999 Tonight we wrapped up our MerleFest '99 contest by announcing the winners of our essay contest. The lucky contestant was Colleen Murdock and her husband, neither of whom had ever been to MerleFest before, but who are excited to go this year. The contest was a tough call - we had a number of good essays to read through, but Colleen's was the consensus favorite. Her essay can be found on our website: http://www.msu.edu/~depolo. There will be several runners-up who will receive CDs of MerleFest artists. The Americana Department here would like to send a big thank you to the labels that contributed, particularly Sugar Hill, Rounder and Skaggs Family/Ceili. We'll see you all down in Wilkesboro, NC!
