We appreciate the follow-up, and we'll be listening to the songs in the next contest and voting for our favorites. We'll also be mentioning your website whenever we get the opportunity. We all agree that we would love for you to visit us and we'll show you a great time. The food and atmosphere at Central BBQ can't be beat, and you would be a celebrity in our midst. She almost always has special Memphis musicians sitting in, and the food can't be beat. The Thursday night Kudzu's gig is still happening, too. So yall come on down, any time!

I was working and didnt catch the last couple hours of the contest. But like Curtis/Markley said its not who ended up first, Its the fact that we all got our music played to thousands of listeners ( Most of whom were proberly stoned or drunk) But at least we are getting heard. I finished 11 th and Im dam proud of that. No where in America can a full time oil field worker have the advantage of living a little part of his dreams. Yall all chill out cause we know its not all about whos the best, Its about all of us and what Hoss and Toney are doing for us and you as the fan. Just want to say.

That said, after slogging in the musical trenches for 37 years, I shall never leave the impression that I am ungrateful for anyone who attempts to promote our American music, particularly those, like yourself, who apparently just love the music as much as I do. Thank you, sincerely, for spreading the word about these unsung musical heroes who likely will never make it to the payola paved airwaves of Clear Channel and other cash for units monopolies. As you indubitably understand, we are all on our own now to promote and preserve what is the best of our musical heritage. Maybe I'll get a chance to play a song for you myself some day. Dear Hoss:

I will try to never let that happen again. Congrats to Nancy and Congrats to My fellow Michiganders... All the songs in this contest were winners in my book and I am so glad that I got to hear some new outstanding music from every artist. I am a big fan of all of you and wish you all the very best. Thanks Hoss for making me a part of your show. Cheers, Lonny Ray Wow, Sorry I missed the show today. I will try to never let that happen again.

If I had not sat in front of my computer from 11:00 on, hitting refresh at every second - I wouldn't be posting anything or raising concerns - you wouldn't have heard a peep from me.... so... for the record, my passion is not only because I am a fan of Nancy Apple but also because I saw the entire thing go down, knew what the outcome was and was totally shocked when I heard of a co-winner scenario because she had a 20-30 some odd vote lead over the 2nd place band... It's not about the "prize", Nancy is our prize but it is about pure principle and fairness. She might and was willing to take the co-winner slot but her friends and fans felt differently so don't hold our voices/statements against her as she was taking the high road... My hat's off to Hoss and Tony and whoever else cos' Nancy said so...haha According to her, they are cool and have helped her and other musicians in a big way. We need and appreciate that. A bigger thanks goes to Curtice/Markley for stepping up and doing the right thing. I am sure they were watching it as closely as we were. I have a great deal of respect for what he/they did and said.. SHINE ON!! With all due respect... Since I can’t seem to reply to Theresa, I’ll close this out with the following…
