We did show some face on the Red Carpet however...
To be nominated is in itself an honor and one must acknowledge all of those who work relentlessly at their chosen endeavor and are never recognized. In my case, I feel as though it is a signal that I am indeed headed on the right track. Music is a central part of my being and I am among the blessed who are given the opportunity to pursue it as a career.

I also view it as a mandate to continue ahead. As Mick said in an interview, "it is an affirmation that what you are doing is worthwhile."
We are looking ahead to the Australia/New Zealand Tour which commences on 2/17. We will be traveling in Eastern Oz mostly and on both NZ isles. Part of the time we will be sharing the bill with Michael MacDonald and Boz Scaggs!! I can't wait to hang with those cats!

Ramblin' Jack Elliot received the Grammy in our category and certainly not without merit. This was his fifth nomination. A contemporary of Woody Guthrie and an big influence on Bob Dylan, Jack received his award in true rambling fashion. Here is a tune I have always enjoyed from his record. It's an 8 Bar Blues.
Check this out. We were seated in front of Taylor Swift when she was called up for her first Grammy. Watch closely.

Next year I hope we'll see you guys up there getting a Grammy. Very cool of you to include a clip of the winner, Ramblin' Jack Elliot. Great stuff all around.
