Valin Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Power Line:John Hinderaker7/29/11We have been counting down the top finishers in the Power Line Prize competition, arriving now at number two, a song called “Don’t You See?” This song, written by Jason Nyberg and performed by his nine-year-old daughter, was actually my favorite of the more than 200 entries in the contest.The Nybergs get a $15,000 prize for this song–on which, as the extremely catchy song notes, they’ll be paying some taxes.Mr. Nyberg is a well-known musician who has conducted orchestras as far away as Prague, scored a number of films and written television commercials, as well as composing for events like the Miss America Pageant and the World Series.

I wouldn’t have thought it possible to write so many enjoyable songs about the national debt, but when we have time after wrapping up the contest on Monday, we will put together a virtual album of the eight or ten best, give it some cover art, and make it a free download somewhere.
