"We are sorry but voting has ended.
We will announce the winner shortly."



But what did we win? I can't wait... Scroll down to find out.

















BE SURE TO DRINK MORE OVALTINE

If all any of the band's get out of this is a "Crummy Commercial", it'll still be a great memory... one I won't soon forget. (wait. Christmas Story ref. but you know that, right?) There's no way to express how thankful we are to you guys. That even sounds cheap. And I don't really have much to give back, but...

Tiny offering of Thanks
I dug around for something because I promised I'd give you guys some small treasure. I picked this one because it reminds me of this time of year... I've been holding on to it for centuries. Well, since 2002. It's nothing flashy or super high quality, but it's a buried song that only a handful of early MossEisley fans have heard. "Lullaby".

Best of my knowledge - the band played this song live - probably less than 10 times. The first time I heard it was their show at Andy's Bar and Grill in Denton - their first club date ever. Reference early Eisley video of the band with Midlake and friends at that same show. (yes, Midlake got them their first club gig)

Lullaby

This is live... unrehearsed, no editing... they were hanging out in a studio in 2002 and played this tune along with others - searching for songs for their early ep's.

Hey. Thanks so much for voting for Eisley. I'm not sure what happened tonight... but the voting must have picked up 'cuz we jumped from like 40% or someting to 60%. Ya'll are crazy. The band was freaking out... just shaking their heads. I'm sure we'll talking about this one for a long time... ha ha..

Well, the new year is coming here in Texas. gotta go. thanks!! and...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

wow, thanks. wasn't expecting to get such a response. i'd HOPED, of course. Now don't go get'n me into trouble. It's not like this song is going to ever show up in a set list. You have to think of it like... Lullaby is a song that was dead and buried. This lucky recording was never meant to be heard. But it's the highest order and probably the only version you'll ever hear of this song. In fact, you're never going to hear this song again outside of this display; So, it's sorta like an open casket to a small creation that enjoyed a few short days of glory on planet earth... and then wilted. I found a photograph and hung it on the wall for viewing. I put it on my new Nano and very much love the tune. I'm just thankful this rare recording got into our hands.

Pull out an oldie but a goodie.

Im not the kind who would take you for granted.

Still remember them words. Or what I thought they were singing.

Thanks, Boyd!

I've only heard the live version.
This one made it to my iPod.
It is a pretty song, even if it's old.
