I was Jay Gaunt's production manager in 2008 - 2010.   Thought enough of 
him to put him on the main stage of the 2009 Greeley  Blues Jam... opening for 
Doug Kershaw, Charlie  Musselwhite, Marcia Ball, Walter Trout and Ronnie 
Baker  Brooks.  A very young Nic Clark was lurking about as  well, it was a 
fine day indeed.
 
Jay was being considered for a nomination just  after that time but it 
didn't fly, he was only around 16 years  old.  I think there was a preliminary 
round which  mirrored the nomination event, sort of a nomination to be 
nominated  thing... but I could have that part mixed up.  Guessing there were  
those who wanted to see him pay some dues prior to being given that honor.  
 
He's a very talented young man, I wouldn't be at  all surprised to learn 
that it has come up again and that he's made it  through.

I heard a rumor Jay Gaunt, the young harmonica prodigy has been  nominated  
for a Grammy.  Is this true?   I hope  so.   Chris Mastakas
