Who do you think will win ? (music awards)

I think Kenny Rogers will take it this time but the newcomer John Conlee will do good as well. Wait, this ain't 1978. My bad.

Guess I should have been more specific---The Muscle Shoals Music Awards!

McCain/Palin 2008-the winners

*hoping*
Browan Lollar-elec. guitar
Zach Gooch-horn
Daniel Ledford-drums
Jason Isbell-album

Good luck to your favorites ! I voted for Jason Isbell also. Haven't heard many of his songs, but DRESS BLUES is a great tribute to Mr. Conley. That song is why I voted for Jason...

What are are y'all talking about?? Sorry I am not informed.

Zach Gooch is sort of my hero

(I just had to throw that out there for him!)

Congrats to the TD's Russ Corey for winning the journalist category! It's nice to see someone who cares about our local musicians. He goes above & beyond to help put the spotlight on this areas talent!

Congratulations to all the winners who have been announced so far ! I agree, Russ Corey is very deserving of this honor !
