Subject: RE: Weavers, Robert Johnson to get Grammys From: Bill Hahn//\\ Date: 11 Jan 06 - 03:59 PM Touching---only proves that Grammys are not that important in the overall picture. Talent is talent and surely does not need the Grammy folks to deign to recognize it in their snail like pace. The love of the public is more important than this latest metal piece---I hope it is recyclable since I bet Lee Hays would want it in his compost heap along with himself. Bill Hahn |
