Hi Folks,
I thought I'd create a post for our newest JPF Nominees to check in and say hi. Tell us about yourselves and your music!

Hi All,
We are very excited that two of our tunes, Pica Pica Polka and Musical Priest S, have been nominated in the polka category.
We are from the San Francisco Bay Area and we play world-inspired, roots-driven rowdy folk fusion. Call it Celtic Ska with a touch of hot pepper and a swig of slivovitz -- we kick up some dust.
Our line-up includes clarinet/whistle, alto sax, bone, tuba, guitar, bass, drums and accordion.
look forward to reading about your songs
Mags

Brian, I am still pinching myself...at Wy and I having our CD "Miss Willow's Fence Row" nominated under the Children's Albums...and The Song, Some Day Some Way nominated under Children's Songs. I knew Some Day Some Way had been originally posted under lyrics board II and went hunting for it ........It was incredibly sweet to re-read the comments from folks back then..and it made me cry. I had gone to my daughter's dance class one evening...and they were dancing to Over The Rainbow..and I went home and said...I'm going to try to write a melody in that vein....and this was what came out. Our Lyrics ..Post from 2002 with an edit at the top http://www.jpfolks.com:80/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/291818/page/804?sess=a7f0d9c57496ffa4eea327dc6d3f2e0d Some Day Some Way.... the recording & the original piano effort http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=6469&content=musica big thank you So much to all who liked our songs.... It is an incredible honor to be included...with folks that are so good. very best... Kaley

Thanks Brian, As to the awards show, with my several problems, it's difficult for me to make a trip like that but there are high hopes of getting Kaley down there to represent us ,though it falls at an especially busy time for her. I might add to what Kaley has posted, that some of the album lyrics were posted on the lyric board so a big thanks to the board people for that. As has been commented on before, sometimes it's amazing what a few words , a line, or a few notes can do for a song. Wy

We're getting more and more excited as we zero in on the show. We just set up a Hotel Partner and it's by far the best offer we had from the hotel we preferred to start with.
Sorry to hear about the health issues Wyman, I was looking forward to finally meeting you down there. Glad Kaley may be coming. Glad to hear from you Janicka and Maggie and Shandy of course. Looking forward to seeing all of you in Nashville!

Hi Fernando,
Congrats on your nominations! We haven't visited South America yet but it's on our list of things to do. Hopefully by the time we make it down there we'll have a few friends we've made through JPF.
If you need a letter for travel purposes in getting a visa, let us know. Email Linda at justplainlin@aol.com with any details.

Hi Paeter,
Congrats on the nomination! I hope your genre makes a big comeback (i.e. radio dramas). I loved them as a kid and they spurred my own imagination like nothing else!

Hi Everyone  Very honored and excited about the nominations for Cabaret Album, Cabaret Song(s), and Vocal Jazz Song that my album Japanese Bathhouse received. I sailed my little ship (or rather, CD) off into the vast seas, and was so happy it found a welcoming harbor in JPF. Looking forward to coming to Nashville! Any word/postings on who will be performing at the showcase and awards? ~ Rebecca

Hello there, I am a nominee in the World Songs category with my song 'Delhi Delight'... a track that moved me so much along it's recording during a 10 year period - recording in Maui, Hawaii and Byron Bay Australia, with friends from the USA, Indonesia and India... What a thrill to be amongst nominees from so many countries! I wanted to say "hi" for a long time to all reading this post. I'am Just Plainly In Awe at what you guys are doing. And if I can share my two cents with peers, excellent... If you want to listen again to my track, please go to http://ariel-kalma.bandcamp.com/track/delhi-delight-2(I just did and heard, still moves me... hehe, after all these years...) keep in touch, and I'll try to post on the industry about my discoveries on the Digital Path (and read other's discoveries too) Warm regards, Ariel

"Alchemy" Nominated for Best World Music Song (Al-Andalus Ensemble) Hello all, First of we wish to say we are simultaneously honored and humbled, surprised and delighted by the honor you bestow on us for this nomination of "Alchemy" for "Best World Music Song." It is not often that recognition comes unannounced like this in life and it truly is a tremendous honor. A review of the list of past winners, with their amazing music, vision and community service, reveals the tremendous significance of this nomination. This nomination came at a very important time when our work as peacemaking musician/songwriters has been especially difficult and when peace in the world seems in a kind of limbo. As a married couple, the stresses and joys of making music together are doubled. This is especially so when our respective cultures have been at war for so very long. It often makes us weep, and perhaps you can hear a bit of that sadness, sorrow but also hope for the future in the "Alchemy" song. We will cherish this nomination for such a distinction as there is no higher honor than to be selected by a jury of ones peers. Today we will remember with gratitude and are more committed than ever to the community that has brought us so much joy, success and meaning to our lives. We only just learned about the nomination and so are a bit late in getting you the information you may need. Here is a bit of information to help with your decision making! 1. Listen: Here is a link the the nominated track "Alchemy" http://www.andalus.com/Andalus_Alchemy.mp3 2. Website: http://www.Andalus.com3. Other albums here: http://www.cdbaby.com/all/andalus4. Press informations: http://www.Sonicbids.com/Andalus5. Video links: http://www.youtube.com/ziriabAbout the music and the musicians: Al-Andalus Ensemble led by Tarik & Julia Banzi We are just plain folks, a married couple making music for a lifetime together. We live between Morocco-Spain-USA. The piece nominated for "Best World Music Song" 'Alchemy' captures one of our moments together where it enjoins oud & flamenco guitar, male and female, left-handed and right-handed, dark and light,... I wont go into cultures, nationalities or religions here but you can read some about our work and our larger ensemble at the above links. In a nutshell I think "Love" is what drives our music-making. As a bi-cultural marriage, we have a daughter who embodies both cultures and like many others suffers from the predijuce in the world. Through music we have devoted our lives to trying to create some beauty, some peaceful understandings to try make this world a better place for everyone, to find that loving path. In music and peace, The Al-Andalus Ensemble Tarik & Julia Banzi www.Andalus.comMorocco-Spain-USA "The gift is in the giving" P.S. (you can see a painting of our daughter and other children around the world painted by Tarik http://www.andalus.com/art/Realism.html (Tarik is also an artist as well as a composer and musician). P.P.S. Our newest album (2009) "21 Strings" ( http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/alandalus5) is full of similar encounters but with violin.

Good to have you joining us Eric. That was a brilliant move to include fans doing the chorus of your song. If you guys want a great way to include your fans in what you do, check out the various versions of Eric's song. Even if you disagree with his politics, you can't deny the humor and the fan interaction is fantastic.

Brian, you are the best!!! Oh, we soooo wanted to be in Nashville and meet everyone and have that wonderful experience. The tickets from Tangier to Nashville were just too expensive this time around. Next time enshaallah as they say in Morocco. We tried to watch the live broadcast but could not get it to work... maybe our internet connection over here is too slow... I hope they will archive the program so that we can experience it at least virtually. Regardless of the outcome, we are already all winners just knowing about the jpf community. Gives me hope for the future of in the world;-) In music & peace Julia Al-Andalus Ensemble www.Andalus.com
