Hi Elvis!

The Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis was wonderful, and some beautiful connections were made. I'll let you know as they solidify. It was surreal... I walked into the awards ceremony after getting off the plane and fixing myself up a bit... and Firecracker was announced as the winner of the best contemporary folk album of the year. I nearly fainted! You know when your ears start buzzing and everything goes white? I had this spastic moment of "should I go up there?" but Ellen and Eric from Redhouse Records did a fine job accepting the award. We celebrated afterwards at a downtown barbecue joint.
