I don't feel the least bit "obnoxious" anymore. I have so much appreciated all of your comments and cheers. Last night I was at our weekly song circle in Toronto, and my friends were so happy when I shared the announcement. They applauded that "one of their own" had received this recognition.   That's how I've felt here too....we can celebrate as a group when our music makes a mark.

Canadians are known for apologizing for everything....what can I say? I'm sorry!
