Oh well, so the boys of The Grandsons and Bicycle Thieves didn't walk away with any WAMMIES, I don't think. Last Train Home/Eric Brace, and Bill Kirchen walked away with some. Dave Chappell walked away with rock instrumentalist. Of all things, The Rhodes Tavern Troubadours get best rock group. OK, wah-hoo. Seems that Hungry For Music was suitably honored too. Good for them, I like them.

Now unfortunately, February is half over. I'm still hurting in the financial department, and I have not really considered 'picking' a club or band for February.

Honestly, the only no-miss show I have on my roster is LTH's CD release for "Time and Water" next week. This should not be taken as a slight to anyone else, as mentioned I am pressed for time and money recently. So The State Theater is going to stay up at bat for hosting the WAMMIES and LTH is going to get it, with the caveat that Eric promised that their version of Bill Monroe's "Walls of Time" would be on it, even though that was a promise from back in the Summer. For the first time in a long time I am anxious to hear what the mix turned out like. It would be great if "Lorelei" made it on too, but somehow I think not. The CD release is supposed to be a crush; if you can believe it will be more of a mad house than usual, do. Just 10 more days...
