The New Black Eagles LP, "On The River" was nominated for a Grammy back in
1973 or so.

Folks that can be remedied very easily:

I'll bet there are No DJML or Dixieland /OKOM Bands that are even members of
NARAS,

All members get to vote on the Grammy's Folks,

Any lable can also Nominate a CD and or Artist for a Grammy.

Perhaps the OKOM/DIxieland crowd just took themselves out of the game, or
worse yet never entered it.

It's like the Lottery folks,  Ya gotta buy a ticket if ya wanna have a
chance
to win.

I have enjoyed TWO Grammy Nominations for Producer of the year  back in
1979,
one for a Jazz Album and one for a Blues Album.

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins
