Any one know anything about this organization? I've just heard that my swing band, Beats Walkin', was nominated for an award in the western swing music category, but I don't know anything about the AWA. Anyone?
Thx,
jc

Jim , I heard that HBO was going to televise it, with Billy Crystal(as Gabby Hayes ) hosting.
Presenters include: Smiley Burnette, Prof. Edwin Corey, Charo , and Mike "THE WONDER ARMADILLO "
All kidding aside, if it's the real deal , Congrats.!!!
