Cashcaster Winner is.... Randy Erickson "TeleTubby"

TDPRI · September 1st, 2005, 02:09 PM

At Noon I drew from the names of about 400 entries and the winner of the Johnny Cash Telecaster Tribute Guitar is Randy Erickson, aka TeleTubby.

Congratulations! Please contact me via email with your shipping address and I'll pass your email along to Leo so that he can send you the Cashcaster.

Thanks to all that donated to the SOS Children's Village-USA Charty and to Blueblood that organized the entire project.

Congrats Randy...hope you give it a good home.

stevieboy · September 1st, 2005, 02:22 PM

Congrats, TeleTubby--that's always been my favorite handle.

And as far the charity nature of the raffle and the spirit of the project in general, for once I feel good about losing!

Geo · September 1st, 2005, 02:29 PM

Congrats and enjoy Randy!
That's a real gem of a Tele.

BB · September 1st, 2005, 02:36 PM

Very cool!!! Congrats Randy. Glad to hear it's going to a great home! I know you will enjoy that guitar.

Raymond · September 1st, 2005, 02:37 PM

Congratulations!!!! TeleTubby is a great guy who's really gonna get this baby to make good music.

Mark Davis · September 1st, 2005, 02:38 PM

Awesome win pal!!!

Old Doc Skinner · September 1st, 2005, 02:38 PM

Congratulations Randy! Time for Tubby bye bye!

tonfarbe · September 1st, 2005, 03:04 PM

I'm glad to hear you won!

But you know of course that you are fully obligated to spank that plank, and give us a full detailed and hopefully illustrated (photos) report! What, you thought we'd let you off the hook cause you won? Phhhbt! Silly boy!

Johnny Isaacs · September 1st, 2005, 04:37 PM

...if I didn't win it, I'm very glad a regular TDPer won it! Nothing against anyone who's won things in the past, but it's even cooler when it's a long-time, regular postin' TDPer who wins it. Congrats Randy!

Chris S. · September 1st, 2005, 05:14 PM

Hey, congrats! That's definitely a cool gee-tar. 8) Enjoy! :-) CS

GuitarJonz · September 1st, 2005, 05:30 PM

Randy..corngrats to you! :D

Well, you have lots of my other stuff, so you might as well have "my" Cashcaster too :P

Looking for a full report when it arrives!!

FraKo · September 1st, 2005, 05:42 PM

I'm glad the winner is the fellow TDPRIer win one of the funniest nicknames on this board. CONGRATS, and enjoy! And congrats to the Cashcaster makers & contributors, not to talk about Paul.

Could we something similar for the New Orleans disaster victims? I mean, there's NO time to make a "NouvelleOrleansCaster", of course, but a raffle with any ready made prize (whatsoever) could be fine. Just an idea, for many reasons we can't help but lovin' everything New Orleans means for all of us...

Oldschoolwax · September 1st, 2005, 05:52 PM

Congrats Randy! Hope you enjoy that one of a kind axe.... lotsa love and mojo in that plank for sure.

Once again, "job well done" to the builders, organiser, contributors and also Paul for running the raffle for this great cause! You've all done a great thing! Everybody can have the rest of the day off, just tell them I said it's ok.

Mike

Blueblood · September 1st, 2005, 05:52 PM

You can bet that every time you play the Cashcaster you are actually playing with the whole spirit of the TDPRI brethren...

So now sir...

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D GIT READY !!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

geddins · September 1st, 2005, 06:11 PM

Congrats to you TT....I hope it speaks to you :D

bug music · September 1st, 2005, 06:20 PM

Congrats TeleTubby (what a great handle) I'm sure you will have much enjoyment with your new axe. Thanks to all who put in the hard work on this also. I'm also glad my humble $5 went to a good cause. When is the next raffle ? My wife will only let me spend $5 at a time on my G.A.S. attacks, so this worked out perfectly. :)

Buckocaster51 · September 1st, 2005, 06:53 PM

This has been a good thing.

Congratulations to Randy and EVERYBODY that was involved in any way.

This is a good place to be.

Joel Terry · September 2nd, 2005, 12:05 AM

Congratulations, Randy! Now, then--pick a little bit of Luther for us...the ol' *boom-chicka boom-chicka*

:D

And God bless those children who will benefit from everyone's compassion and generosity.

Take care,
Joel

ravindave_3600 · September 2nd, 2005, 01:10 AM

Excellent, and congratulations to TT. So, Senor Webmaster, any idea on how much we raised? Or is it simple math: 400 names = $2000?

TexGoneNW · September 2nd, 2005, 03:07 AM

Absolutely couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

Now you can part with one of those balsa wood Tele's I was sampling last week

PeterUK · September 2nd, 2005, 04:43 AM

Randy is a true gent. Helped source a CD for me and then refused payment!

I'm delighted for you Randy! :D

:D Peter

Fuzzyhead · September 2nd, 2005, 05:36 AM

Congratulations! Nice to see somebody win who deserves it (OK, most of you people actually would have). Have a great time with this awesome guitar!
