Announcing Q1 2026 Draw Winners
Announcing the winners of free song download draws…
Hey Everyone, I’m a little behind schedule.
Yeah, I’m a little behind schedule on a thing or two…but today’s the day of announcing the winners of free song downloads for the following categories. I’m playing catch-up. But before making the announcement, I just want to refresh your memories a little. Below is the list of ways to become entered into the free song download draws.
1 - Contact Us: Go to our CONTACT page, check off the appropriate box, and add details. Your email address will automatically get you entered into our quarterly digital song download draws.
2 - Leave Comments on Songs: Share your thoughts about any of Noel's original songs - what they mean to you, your favorite lyrics, or how they make you feel. Each comment gets you an additional entry into the digital song download draws. The winner will choose the prize. (Click here for an example of a comment box for the song, Left Unread).
And while you’re at it, why not give Left Unread a solid listen and leave a comment afterwards. Why? This is the song that sparked the whole concept of writing the book I wrote of the same name. I know many of you have placed advanced orders for it (coming within a few weeks from today). That being said, it only makes a whole lot of sense that you not only listen to the song, but imagine, if you can, the level of determination, commitment, belief, and perseverance it took to, not only make that commitment to myself, but to actually follow through on it 22 years later. That song just might go down in history if things manifest as I imagine they will. Listen to Left Unread right here.
- 3 - Leave Comments on Merch: Each merch item has a comment box. Leave a comment about any item and get an additional entry into the digital song download draws. (Click here for an example of a comment box for the puzzle created for the song, Paperclips, Pennies and Dust). From there, scroll through some of the merch selections on that page and share your thoughts with me in the comment boxes provided with each selection.
- 4 - Early Supporter Program Sign-ups: Although, you only have to sign up once, which you’ve done already, to qualify for repeated free entries into the remaining quarterly free draws for 2026.
NOTE: Each contact, comment, and sign-up carries over into the next quarterly draw. The more frequently you support us, the more you increase your chances of winning additional song downloads by:
- Sending an email,
- leaving comments on songs,
- Leaving comments on merch products, and by
- Signing up (you only have to sign up once to be eligible for repeat draws, and you've already done that).
So, here are the free download winners for the 1st quarter of 2026:
In the 1st “Contact us” category …
Sorry to say, no one sent us an email to ask any questions. So, there are no entries in there. Let’s change that for the 2nd quarter draw that will take place in April. Click here to send us an email and ask any question you might like to ask.
In the 2nd “Leave Comments on Songs” category …
The winner is: Dave. Watch the quick video of the draw here.
In the “Leave Comments on Merch” category …
Sorry to say, no one left any comments there either. But we know that it takes time to develop new habits. So, let’s change that for the 2nd quarter draw that will take place in April. Click here to leave a comment on our Merch selection and designs.
In the Early Supporter Program Sign-ups …
The winner is Hannah. Watch the quick video of the draw here.
Congratulations to the winners!
BTW, I want to remind you that we’re also giving away free merch. Things have been off to a slow start, but that’s to be expected. I know exactly that I have quite a comprehensive program being instituted. And although I provide as much information as I can within my website and in the newsletter, if the stories don’t get read in their entirety, or if they become overlooked, it’s impossible to be aware of all that’s going on. But I believe all that will change with time.
So, in an attempt to refresh your memories, here goes …
