I am on the Grammy Ballott

I had just gotten home from my local chapter JPF songwriters meeting,
when my songwriting partner Kathy called me, screaming at me with the
following news....

Our song "Jesus Loves You, Everyone else thinks you're an A**Hole"
from my album "Another Roll of The Dice", has made the opening Grammy
Ballots for SONG OF THE YEAR. it is selection # 332 on the ballot

The album "Another Roll of The Dice" has made the opening ballots for
BEST ROCK ALBUM (selection # 234) and ALBUM OF THE YEAR (selection #
623).

When Kathy showed this to me, it was on of those "Is this really
happening?" kind of moments.

I think I said "holy f***ing sh**" about 5 times in a row while the
news sunk in.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Being on the opening ballot does NOT mean that I have been nominated
for a Grammy.

It means that I COULD BE nominated for a Grammy if enough people vote
for me.

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT I COULD GET NOMINATED

Slim. Not because I am not good enough. But because I am not famous.

But even still, just making it this far is something that we never
thought we'd see happen. In fact we're still reeling from the news.
