Sometimes participating here is frustrating. Singing is my thing, I practice many hours a day. Often while I'm busy using my Festools. But I'm not a UK resident so I can't enter. These tools would have been mine as I would have totally bagged this contest. Bohemian Rhapsody is on the list and I've practiced it a million times already. Don't stop me now also, like another gazillion Queen songs. Sigh.
It is getting discouraging now after 7 years being one of the most participating members but always see other people grab the goodies and never get a shot at anything. I remember when I first joined in 2008 we had a contest every month and it didn't matter from which country you were. But since Festool took over that idea became a thing of the past, just like the FOG contests. Funny how a private person like this forum's founder Matthew Schenker made a lot more effort than a multinational can.
The contest is a very nice idea, and I can see how Festool would want to promote their new radio with a musical happening. Too bad the real Festooling musician is shut out by your rules.
Meh, at least I could download a backing track of Bohemian Rhapsody, never had that before. That's going to be fun to sing along.
A singing [member=5277]Alex[/member] ... now there's a twist [scared]
I for one wood chip in (sorry, "would", but I can't help myself) to see this!!! Not something I would ever have expected and I'm now extremely curious.
Why don't we all lobby to have Festool support extending this competition to Europe and specifically to the Netherlands? C'mon - we're the FOG, we can achieve anything. After all, We Are the Champions - that's a personal request Alex [wink] [big grin]
