[lmoffat]

“There always on time, so just kick back and relax.”  “Pack your bags and get away—let’s celebrate a special day.”  “It’s just me and my suitcase; even two is okay.” 

Last month we asked if you had the skills to play live music at 35,000 feet on a Southwest 737 to help celebrate our 41^st birthday.  These are just a few lines from the songs we received from around the country from musicians vying for the chance to surprise and delight Customers on our birthday, June 18. 

Now, we need your help to choose our top three musicians for the chance to play their music live at 35,000 on a LUV jet on our birthday.  To cast your vote,  tell us your top three by commenting below or by clicking the YouTube links below no later than 5:00 p.m. CT on May 30.  Our judges will take into account your comments and video views when selecting our top three winners.  Stop back by here on the NUTS blog on May 31, and we’ll announce which bands will rock out their tunes for lucky Southwest Passengers on June 18.

Good luck to the finalists!
