Right on, yeah, I had no idea; scrolling through the tag and watching a few videos did not make it evident to me how it worked. I was waiting for some sign of the first people to make the week change and look closely for standards from there. I did record my original just for this openmic, but I didn't know I had to say the words, I thought I could reuse the video more easily if I didn't. But now I see the extra point of driving more traffic and music here by including the verbal announcement at the beginning. I'm in, and excited, but there's certainly a lot of great acts and I don't want to feel so much like I'm "competing" ... but maybe it doesn't hurt to play such a fun game by the rules :-) Thanks for all you're doing!

Upvoted, re-steemed, and sharing on facebook to bait more folks :-)

Thanks for the resteem and for playing. Hopefully, we'll see you next week.
I post a new contest each Sunday.
I post all the players for the week on Friday night which is also the cut off date.
And I post the winners on Monday
