Well, I've done it again. I've gone past my self-imposed limit of posting once a month. I missed all of October. I guess it's the end-of-the-year rush. Here's the latest:

On November 4th they held the 2006 Just Plain Folks Awards at the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana, CA. Below are the results for the Americana Album of the Year:


Americana Album Nominees  /   Artist  /  Location

Winner:     The Back Fields / Tim Grimm / IN
Second:     Sparks In The Fields / Jim Photoglo / TN
Third:          Happy Face / Kim McLean / TN
Fourth:        Melic / Hayseed / NY


My initial reaction was to throw my arms in the air and yell, "WHAT???" Oh, wait... that was Faith Hill; not me.

I'd like to thank all my supporters and congratulate the winners. It was an honor to be nominated and really an honor to finish so well in a crowded field. 

I've got one more show booked for the rest of the year. On December 2nd I'll be in Somerville, MA at The Abbey Lounge. I'm appearing as part of Lucky 57's record release party. I've done several shows with them and it's always a good time. 

I hope to have a couple of announcements soon but it would be premature to mention them now. I'll just say that my new venture is fun and I like the possibilities. 

Have a great Thanksgiving and remember to sign the guestbook so I'll know you were here!

Take care,

Hayseed
