Susan's announcement has brought me enthusiastically out of the woodwork. Congratulations to you Susan. Your efforts to promote Del Amitri are relentless, shameless and altogether wonderful. As for her own talent, I'm here to vouch that Susan has an absolutely magical gift. For anyone who hasn't seen her work, check out her website and be prepared to be amazed. Back on the shelf now.... cheers, karen > Congratulations Susan. I know you've put a lot of time, effort, and love > into your work - and it's great to see you getting the recognition you > deserve.

I seem to remember Justin wincing when I asked him how he felt about an article I'd read in a magazine (maybe Entertainment Weekly) where the Dels were compared to Steely Dan. You might not want to tell him how you feel about them if you ever meet Justin. LOL > I was happy to see Steely Dan get a few nods in some > of the bigger > categories.

Jon, buddy, looks like you're a bit stuck in the 70's genre of bad music. It could be worse, I suppose, you could be praising Journey, REO Speedwagon, or Foreigner.

That's exactly why I don't watch or even care about who wins a Grammy. It's never about the music much anyway, just who's earning the record companies the most money, unfortunately. I just cannot base my musical taste on what's "popular" since what's "good" is so much more important. Have a nice day, debbie Yahoo!

Here is a site called Findmeanartist.com where I have the Del Amitr sketches to view: http://www.findmeanartist.com/showchapter.asp?siteid=510&catid=202&search=1 (go to www.findmeanartist.com, do the 'search' for Susan Gore Gardner, and there'll be 2 portfolios there: the first is the band, just click and there ye be...) Then there is the biggie web site, which I've been told takes awhile to download, but it has all my stuff there: www.sggardner.com OR http://www.geocities.com/creidg_55/ > Anyway, maybe next time anyone has any contact with the band (hmmmm!) > perhaps they can tell them all about this.

I had told him what angle I wanted to do Mark from, looking between the drum kit, and bless his pea-pickin' heart he got it. I really appreciate the photos Doug and Teresa have let me borrow.
