BMA winners

[Stan Erhart]

Yea, it's hard to knock them for giving an award to any of those guys. I was pleased that Terry Hanck won an award this year. And as much as contests and awards still remind of the old "battle of the bands", they're good for getting the troops out and having some fun. Not any worse than jam sessions or variety shows or the grand old opry. People like variety, and a show. That's why anyone walking the bar or playing behind their back gets more attention than a great solo.

not that it matters but I am sure Charlie has won it a bunch of times as
well.  All of them are deserving of course
