So, the Red Dirt Music Awards were yesterday. I hope they went ok. I didn't go. Why?

1. Because it was on a Sunday. Bad deal. When I get around all those guys I tend to drink beer and I gotta work on Monday. Plus it'd be over a two hour drive to my house.

2. It was in Tulsa. I don't know why. Didn't they just have the Spotniks like a month ago? A Lot of the Red Dirt Awards people were already recognized. I think they should have had it elsewhere...... oh, say Stillwater? OKC? a central location?

3. I don't think Red Dirt should have awards. I always thought this whole deal was "anti-awards". Now, I dig the Gruene with Envy Awards. Its cool to get recognition in a different market. Plus, its cool that Oklahoma can take over Texas. :-) I know the voting is based on the musicians and not the public, but I don't think I would want to make Bob, Tom, Cody, Jason, Mike, Stoney and all the other guys choose who is better than who or who has done more. Everybody was treated equally when all this started. It's cool that everyone got together for this deal. I just think it should be more of a festival like LJT's. I'm tellin' ya people. If we had an Oklahoma Music Festival, it'd be bigger than Woodstock. One of the biggest jam sessions ever. I don't know about anyone else, but I want music, not awards.

Anyways, It looked to be a pretty big production to get everyone at one place because that'd be a shitload of work. I hope it was cool and everyone enjoyed themselves. I know there were people there that haven't seen each other in a while..... and maybe there was a little old school jammin' goin' on in the motel rooms afterwards. I always heard great songs from those times. Keep on rockin'/truckin'.
