Cal,

Looks like one of these writers who is always on the forefront, he knows what is best for music business, if voters think different, they are often labeled as old fashioned etc.

If the "perennial nomination" of classic artists like Clapton, Springsteen, James Taylor and others makes voters look old and grey haired compared to those oh-so young, trendy and relevant acts like Coldplay and others, well, then I'd rather be called old and grey haired!

You can always have different opinions about the quality of nominated artists and records, let's say I'm not fully convinced with his opinion!

Kind Regards, Walter

Yes, Walter. Price should win a Grammy just because he's the best country singer, ever. And Willie might be the best writer, ever. Every band I've ever been in has done their material. I wonder if bands will be playing Coldplay (never heard of them until this article) songs 40 years from now, eh?

Chris Lasher · Post by **Chris Lasher** » 6 Feb 2004 7:25 pm

Ricky, you play with Redd Volkaert!? That is awesome! Could you please tell him that I loved his pickin' on "Spaghetti Western Swing"?

Ricky Davis · Post by **Ricky Davis** » 6 Feb 2004 9:17 pm

Hey Chris; yes I mostly play with Redd...>I'll see him on Wednesday for a session we're doing together..but Big Jim Murphy is takin' the Steel guitar seat this week with Redd.

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 7 Feb 2004 8:20 am

I never watch the Grammys, but I will this year, since Robt. Randolph is nominated for TWO awards and will be playing on the show. Need I say, this has never happened before in the history of our beloved instrument.

John McGann · Post by **John McGann** » 7 Feb 2004 9:04 am

Yes, but can he play " A WAY SPLAT! (sound of giant flyswatter smooshing wiseass)

Gene Jones · Post by **Gene Jones** » 7 Feb 2004 10:04 am

.....but, is he being nominated because he plays a steel-guitar,or could he just as easily be rccognized as an entertainer if he was playing a harmonica?

HowardR · Post by **HowardR** » 7 Feb 2004 10:47 am

Yes, but can he play " A WAY SPLAT! (sound of giant flyswatter smooshing wiseass)

I'll always cherish this moment...(sob, sniff)

Good night, and Piece.....

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 7 Feb 2004 1:54 pm

Yes, Gene, I think Buddy Emmons would be nominated for an award no matter what instrument he played. Just happens to be steel guitar.

Andy Greatrix · Post by **Andy Greatrix** » 8 Feb 2004 10:07 pm
