When you hear Gary play that song 50 years later, or when he was in his prime at whatever time period, and brilliant on top of it, that's a really damaging thing to the head. That causes a lot of people not to be able to play all their creative energy because they're really just playing with their own head - Jerry Ricks, Port Townsend 97

Thanks, Lew. It's nice to hear that one of our favorites was recognized. Same goes for D2D and the folks behind it.

Worth a revisit, IMHO:

I scrolled through the list and noticed that Leonard Cohen was nominated for the Best American Roots Performance.  It's good to know that the category is still somewhat expansive.
