Okay, at least they got something right. "The Live Wire" won a Grammy for Best Historical Album.   I thought the other collections were impressive - including the "Murder Ballads & Disaster Song" collection.

Also, Levon Helm won for Traditional Folk (I was hoping for Bromberg) and Steve Earle for Contemporary Folk.    Both catagories are filled with the more commercial recordings, but the recognition helps.

Thing is....if Woody were alive today I doubt he would care one way or another if he got a Grammy or not.
