Hurray for Pete, Robert & Allison

I was so pleased as I watched the Grammys last night to see music that I love being awarded for its excellence. Being a 50-something, most of the music my kids and grandkids listen to is not always something I can relate to. (Yes, I have become my mother after all) However, Robert Plant of Led Zepplin, one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE musicians was awarded for setting away from his comfort zone and trying something new. He and Allison Krause created a wonderful CD of music and I was thrilled that they received 5 grammys.

Best of all, Pete Seeger, 89 years old, showed us that we are artists no matter what our age. I was so happy that just eight days after we joined him in song at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival, the recording industry awarded him the Best Traditional Folk Grammy.

Way to go!
