May 24, 200521 yr I found this contest on www.spankysnyc.com. It is a karaoke signing contest being held in New York City on Thursday, June 2nd for the chance to win two tickets to the world premiere of "Dukes of Hazzard." Apparently, airfare to LA, hotel stay for the night and ground transportation to the theater is part of the package. And get this...TOM "Luke Duke" WOPAT is one of the judges. The contest starts at 11:30 AM at SPanky's BBQ on 43rd Street in Manhattan with a little classic southern rock karaoke- Hazzard County Classics from the early 80s. Finalists will have to sing "Good Ol' Boys" to win the trip. And I bet there will be a lot of female fans dressed as Daisy...which could be nice lunchtime viewing. More info is available at www.spankysnyc.com.check it out!!!

May 26, 200521 yr bamamediamafia,I don't where yo got that tom rarely acknowledges the dukes any more.Everytime I seen him talk he always gives Dukes credit. He proud of his time on Dukes. 8)
May 26, 200521 yr Tom's still a Duke boy at heart. I read recent interviews about him and he still talks quite fondly about the Dukes. Tom's even participating on the DVD extras for seasons three and four of the Dukes.

Tom's even participating on the DVD extras for seasons three and four of the Dukes.i think with talk of the new movie, sure he may be getting the spitir and fondness for the show back, but for most of his career he refused to speak on the show during his broadway tenure.
May 27, 200521 yr Authenticity of the promotion has been verified. Side note to BamaM...hello, it's posted on a bar site, so we shoulda took it as gospel? Dude, I thought you were more jaded than that. HEH! But in all seriousness, we just do our best to make sure our friends and neighbors are getting accurate info. Didn't want somebody to drive to NY and then be disappointed, ya know. Like me, 'cause I just might enter! I can sing with the worst of 'em.....Brian
