No one should feel bad. You did an incredible job and put out an amazing CD that is doing a lot of good - both financially for the family and to help spread Utah's name and influence. It is a brilliant recording.

If you had to lose, you lost to another great CD - and an important project. Wainwright's project is helping introduce Poole to a new audience - and to bring some attention to get Poole inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame.   It is a damn good recording too, and I'm sure Utah wouldn't feel bad about losing to it.

We are lucky to be able to celebrate two magnificent recordings and everyone should be extremely proud of what you accomplished. A Grammy on a mantle might have been a nice knick-knack, but you can relish the fact that everyone connected with the Utah project created a work of art that is going to be heard, enjoyed and will teach generations to come. I'm happy for everyone involved and I'm honored to know some of you.
