 Me, I'm pulling for Jason Ricci, but he is in good company with that crew that's up. _________________________________

Don't know how these awards are decided, but Steve and Mark sure have put  in 
the years and are true blues men in the traditional sense. Hope one of them  
gets the award.

Of course, Rick is great, too. However, he has enjoyed a lot more main  
stream success at his craft than Steve and Mark have. Hope they get a shot at  it, 
as it does help with their name recognition and future income  potential.
