BMA winners

[mannish]

ever since VOCALS were removed from the awards I quit paying attention.

Kind of hard to take blues awards serious when they have no reverence
for vocals, since blues started as a vocal music.

Congratulations to the deserving winners but the awards are have no
credibility with me.
