And it's Molly for the win!

Unfortunately, she was seated too far back in the audience and didn't make it to the stage in time to accept the Grammy with the full fanfare.

Damn, would have been great
Damn, would have been great to see Peter get it. The man is 80 and still making great music, and Molly Tuttle is on his album as well, so she could have gotten a win even while Peter took it.

I took that photo at their Jan 28 show. It was Andy and Travis duo play the music of Jerry Garcia. It was a great time in a tiny theater. They dressed in those dorky tie dyed suits. So much fun. They said their favorite thing to do on the road during down time was to play Jerry songs. They ripped it up.

CHANG: And I just want to make sure everybody understands, you were the first woman to win the International Bluegrass Music Association's guitar player of the year award. What is it like to be recognized in a category that's traditionally been so dominated by men?
TUTTLE: I remember, like, hearing that I was the first woman to even be nominated, let alone win, and I just had to, like, take a minute to let it sink in because I don't know exactly why specifically guitar is so male-dominated. Like, even just going into a guitar store, I kind of bond with my female friends who play guitar because we're all like, ugh, we get treated like we know nothing about guitars when we walk into a guitar store. And that can be really frustrating, and I think that's just one small example of how it feels sometimes.
CHANG: That still happens. You walk into a guitar store. You're unrecognized, and you're talked to like you're learning about the instrument for the first time or something.
TUTTLE: (Laughter) It hasn't happened in a while, only because I avoid going into guitar stories that I don't know the people who work there.

Bet she wears running shoes
Bet she wears running shoes and a shorter dress at next year's Grammy awards so she can make it to the stage in time to accept the award.
Then again, they'll probably seat her closer to the stage..

I'm a fan, but it sure is odd to see her all gussied up.
The McCourys are the most talented of all those players, but they've won so many awards, I'm glad someone else is getting the attention.
And Peter Rowan isn't really in the true bluegrass category, but where else do ya put him? Americana might be more appropriate.
But Yonder? really? Never knew Grammy judges go to jamband festivals.
Congratulations all.

Here's a nice article about
Here's a nice article about Rowan's new album. I've only heard the title track so far but this review has me curious.
"Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Peter Rowan has been reinventing himself and acoustic American music for more than six decades. He has been called a “music visionary” by bluegrass scholar Neil Rosenberg. Peter has composed and recorded bluegrass, reggae, rock, Hawaiian, Buddhist, Tex-Mex, psychedelic, and country music. And he has collaborated and performed with some of the best musicians of our time: Bill Monroe, Jerry Garcia, Alison Krauss, Yungchen Lhamo, David Grisman, Tony Rice, Flaco Jiménez, Vassar Clements, and many others. Peter’s extensive discography reflects the incredible breadth of his career...."
"...I feel connected to Amerindian traditions as well. To the idea that all phenomena are endowed with spirit. That we are the medicine. That all is sacred. For a while, I wanted to become a tobacco ceremony holder, a pipe holder. But that’s three years of work and it’s way outside of my outreach to the public. Music moves me in a way that is healing. And I want people to feel that. It’s what music does to me that I’m trying to bring out to other people. My path doesn’t take me to North Dakota up to Sundance Ceremonies and things like that. I understand and respect that. It takes a tremendous amount of commitment and endurance. Peyote ceremonies and the sweat lodge are my connections to Native American traditions. I haven’t been part of the peyote ceremonies since 1979, but I felt that I received the message from peyote, from Mescalito. And that’s what I was writing about back then."

Was watching CBS morning show
Was watching CBS morning show and Gayle King was lamenting that Beyoncé didn't win the award given to Bonnie Raitt. And then admitted she never heard of Bonnie Raitt. Jeez.
anyway, it's nice to see some of my favorites getting recognized for their accomplishments. Now maybe others will 'hear' them

I was there as I'm sure others here were too. That night she announced she was retiring... Then she won the Album of the year Award weeks later at the 32 Grammy Awards(1990). Obviously she lied.

Not sure how she survived that. Last time I saw her at the Greek - Berkeley she complained during the show that people in the audience were smoking too much weed.

I was happy to be there too and had a blast! At least she DID follow through with her other promise to enjoy some of the rest of the show that night from "right down there" in the crowd.

>I wanted to respond to the
>I wanted to respond to the incredible outpouring of messages that have come in since my song, "Just Like That," won the Recording Academy / GRAMMYs award last Sunday night for Song of the Year.
I’ve been so deeply moved, often to tears, reading the personal stories of hundreds of you, some of whom have had no familiarity with me or my music before I won that GRAMMY, and were curious why this song had won. After listening, many of you wrote that you were moved to tears, even inspired to share your own heart-wrenching stories of either having your loved one’s life saved by an organ donation, or having decided at the height of the terrible shock and loss of losing a beloved, that you would donate their organs so that others could live.
These stories and your responses to my song have moved me as much as anything I can remember and I want to thank you so much for this gift. So many messages from nurses and doctors in the field involved with transplants as well as people who were tragically not able to get an organ in time to save their loved one’s life. There are messages from the family members of people who wanted their organs to be donated, but are now living with the guilt when that wish, for whatever reason, was not able to be fulfilled.. These stories run the gamut and I’m just blown open by the vulnerability and power of each of them.
I am so honored that my song and the original news story that inspired it, are eliciting such a deep emotional response for so many. The story behind the song is this: A few years ago I saw a segment on the evening TV news where they followed a woman who was meeting the man who had received her son’s heart for the first time. It was very emotional, but when he invited her to put her head on his chest and listen to her son’s heart, I just lost it. I knew after it stayed with me for weeks, that I wanted to write my own story, inspired so much by John Prine’s music and his beautiful "Angel From Montgomery," which I’ve sung every show since hearing it in the early 70’s. I wrote about a fictional woman, Olivia Zand, torn by grief and guilt at the loss of her young son, who finds redemption and grace through the loving act of another.
May the song bring about even more awareness and motivation for more of us to support organ donation registration and infrastructure — removing obstacles that have hindered helping thousands connecting to facilitate this miraculous gift of life and help bring comfort to those suffering such tragic loss. I’ve included a link below to a wonderful Op-Ed by Dr. Maureen McBride, the interim CEO of United Network for Organ Sharing in yesterday’s USA TODAY, in which she lays out why these programs need more support and the ways we can all help.
Thank you all so much again for your incredible responses and sharing your beautiful stories. More than any award, fame or commercial success, knowing what my song means to so many may be the greatest gift of all.
Blessings to you,
Bonnie
