Congratulations to all who participated in the contest!!! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all the entries. It’s a fantastic experience to listen to one’s music interpreted in so many creative ways. A big thanks to all of you for putting your heart and soul into re-working Pie In The Sky. When I wrote the song I wanted to convey a message to listeners:

Slow down from the “rat race” and re-think that pot of gold you are striving for. At the end of it all you have to find inner peace and happiness within yourself.
