"Ace of Spades" cover wins +Expensive Microphone+ from Shure "Musical Roots" contest

The acoustic version I recorded (with Chris Buessem) of Motorhead's classic "Ace of Spades" makes the finalist list at Shure microphone's "Musical Roots" contest.

Recorded at Chris's studio, this version of "Ace of Spades" is a fleshed out take of the
version I performed on the solo/acoustic Belgian and Dutch tour last year.

For our trouble, Shure Microphones is kind enough to cough up a $500 condenser microphone. Wow! Easily the most expensive piece of equipment I (will soon) own. Thanks Lemmy!
