Thanks folks. This was an amazing surprise last night, particularly in view of the day we had had - see 'Another biopsy'.

It was a joint effort - Dan told us the idea - I got the first few people interested in donating a track, Kendall used his friendships with some good names in the folk world and then Dan took over and did most of the hard work.

It pleases me that this album has been nominated as this will, hopefully, lead to more sales and that will benefit Joanna. This was an album created out of deep love and respect for a great man, who never really looked for fame and fortune and who spent a lot of his time trying to make life better for others. I only wish that he was alive to see this.

I remember the day you guys called. It was just a group of friends going to put out a CD. 12 tracks or so and see if we couldn't raise a few bucks to help out. You three and Gordon, as I recall. I say, "sure, I'll throw in an old wobbly song". Seems like every few days I get a call from Dan. "Rosalie Sorrels is in", "Paxton is giving us a track", "Ed Trickett, Marcy and Cathy are onboard". Then we needed distribution and I was working with Jim Fleming on a fundraising concert for Utah's family. I put him in touch with Dan and they worked out a deal with Ani Difranco. Dan was absolutely devoted to the project and was the steam in the engine. He deserves the lions share of the accolades on the project, and I am most happy for my young friend. Next thing you know, Pete Seeger, Jean Ritchie, Mary Black and Emmy Lou Harris are a part of the deal. What started out as a little 12 track CD among friends and admirers turned into 39 tracks from across the spectrum of the folk music world.

Congratulations, my dear friends, Dan, Jacqui, and Captain Kendall. I am honored to be in your company.

Love,

Mick

Although for a compilation album the official nomination goes to the producers, this album really was a grassroots, group effort, and all the musicians deserve a great deal of congratulations and gratitude for the time, love, and often money that went into making every track.

But especially we couldn't have done it without Jacqui and Kendall, who got us rolling, gave the project energy and credibility, and stayed right through to the end, whether we were dealing with sequencing, liner notes, cover design, or what have you. Don't let them sell themselves short.

One other person that deserves a HUGE amount of credit is Charlie Pilzer, who took a collection of 39 tracks, some recorded in studios, but many recorded in homes, and mastered them into a CD that works.

If I had any idea where this was headed, I would have went with full orchestral backing and the Bethel Pentecostal Gospel choir singing on the choruses .........

When I heard about the project, I thought it might be bigger than anyone knew. When I heard the CD, I wondered about a possible Grammy nomination. I don't know that is has a chance of winning, but if it brings more ears and hearts to Utah's songs, it's a good thing.

Congratulations, friends.

I'd like to volunteer for entourage duty. I can be your bodyguard, carry your canine accessory if you want to go the Paris Hilton route, (no big yellow dogs), and ignore messages from your managers (not the ones you're not married to--I'm not pissing THEM off!).

(There's a song waiting to be written, but I think it's Loudon Wainwright III or Eminem's job)

Kendall already has the leather jacket. The traditional folk groupies aren't safe around him (or the other way around).

Just getting the nomination and the recognition from the music community is a a big thing and should get further public attention for a worthy and wonderful project. This recording has so many terrific ingredients from artists to songs and performances as well an important cause you would think it would merit the number one spot. Congratulations Jacqui, Kendall, and Dan on a great production and for the well deserved honors.
