>>>>we have to do some flag-waving ourselves the fact that 5 of the Grammy Nominees in the Cont. Folk Category this year are "Americana" acts, alt-country, ya'llternative, ya'llterna-honk, what ever you want to call it, THIS HELPS CREATE A SCENE. Use this flag to raise enough awareness that this music is different, deserves its own category in the Grammys, and then everyone else will eventually catch on. If an artist won a Grammy in "Alterna honk" this would open doors for all other similar artists, sales, gigs, everywhere. Hell, might even get lucky after a show from time to time >g> (I did not say that)
