My good friend Sam Midwood (a.k.a. Zuckerman) recently submitted what I thought was a really good entry to a video contest for Wonderful Pistachios. I got involved near the tail end by supplying him some music, a rendition of my kazoo-melody score from Frank Fox's Morning Run Amok.

Well guess what? Out of over 700 entries... Sam's video made it into the top ten finalists! The grand prize is $25,000!

It's all down to Internet voting now. Can you help out my (our) friend, Sam? Here's how to help:

1. Login to youtube with a youtube account.
2. Follow this link:

3. Click on VOTE
4. Click on the video entitled "Pistachio Contest Test" or "So Many Ways" (There's a picture of a guy screaming over a blue background. If you don't see it hit the right arrow button to scroll to the next page of entries.)
5. Vote by clicking the Green Thumbs Up Button! (You can do this once per day until Dec. 16th.)

Thank you for your support!
