Comments

[Jeff]

I agree...a pretty good list all in all. Would have liked to see "Pop Fly" and/or "Family Tree" on that list. Rooting mightily for Bill Harley to win spoken word record.

[Kathy O'Connell]

I agree. Not a bad list at all. Of course, I'm partial to Trout Fishing in America. So, I'm happy.All the choices are good. But Justin Roberts' "Pop Fly" should have been nominated.This was a great year.
