Hey, Jon -- Thank you so much for the kind words. This has been a fun-- and unexpected -- ride so far. When we started recording the original cues almost two years ago, I had no idea this movie would be so highly respected. Don't think they'll decide to invite the steel player, but one can hope!  It's all very exciting. Boo |

Boo:
Very cool man. My congrats go out to you also. If I were you, I'd go even if they don't invite the pedal steel player.
Good for you brother.
Your pal,
Chris "Tiny" Olson |

| Hey Boo I think they should have you accept the award if BBM wins. Seriously congrats on your success with the music. Tiny this makes three TGB retirees in a row. Maybe Gordon T and John C should add on here. |

Hey Boo, We met at Pappy and Harriets (Pioneertown) last year. I was playing steel for the Slidewinders who opened up for Moot. Because my girlfriend works for the pianist George Winston, who is nominated this year for his "Montana" CD, we were fortunate to be able to get tickets to the Grammy show. Let me know if you'll be at the Grammys, I'll send you my cell number and we can visit for a bit.
I saw the film BBM and really enjoyed the work you did on the score! |

Thanks again for everyone's congrats!
Tiny and Ben -- looks like Jersey's in the house! (FYI, Tiny, Ben, and I all played in the same band from NJ at different time periods)
Charlie -- After 20 years of Grammy madness in my old corporate job, I am choosing to sit this one out. But it looks like you live in the LA area. Let's try to find time to get together.
Thanks again to all. Boo |

Hi Bob/Boo, Your wife's cousins here in LoUiSiAna were already very fond of you, but with this, now even more so. I have already told them about this honor...but I can't promise you that they will see the movie though.
Congratulations from us 'LoUiSiAna Kajuns'!
