| Vote for Bill Biffle to Win
Mutual of Omaha TV Spot
Our own President Bill Biffle has a chance to win a plug for barbershop in Mutual of Omaha's 2011 national TV commercial campaign "Aha! Moments"! He was named one of 74 semi-finalists out of 1,000 entries for his recording of what barbershop has meant in his life.
You can see Bill's entry and vote by clicking HERE.
First-round voting is from October 1st -15th. Check the website on October 18th to see if he made it to the Top 25 (we'll update you in future issues of LiveWire). Then, final-round voting is from October 18th - 31st. Unlike many other contests of this type, you can only vote for Bill once in each round.
Please send this link out to all your friends, family and co-workers - we could get Bill thousands of votes if we send this out and talk it up at meetings and rehearsals! Go, Bill! Go, Barbershop! | Far Western District Convention

| | Monkey Magic Gets Sony Recording
Deal for Christmas 
The 2008 BABS Champion and International Barbershop Harmony Society Quarterfinalists and Collegiate Finalists Monkey Magic have been signed to record a Christmas album by Sony Music's new Arista UK label. Tenor Alan Hughes announced that Monkey Magic will be releasing "The Great British Barbershop Boys - Christmas Time" on December 6. Monkey Magic is naturally extremely excited about this opportunity, and is encouraging all fans and supporters of the quartet to pre-order the album on Amazon.co.uk. Strong pre-order numbers obviously will help the album climb in Amazon UK's album rankings and provide increased publicity for barbershop!
