- Well, I've just returned from a vacation - so I'm bright-eyed and
- bushy-tailed. Although I've only been on here for a while, I'll give this a
- shot...I'll only respond to that which I feel capabale, or have something
- relevant for...

- >2. Wittiest poster. (Rolling on the Floor Laughing Prize)
-
- Rick. Easy. Those of you here in October will remember my marriage
- proprosal to the already-betrothed Rickster for just this very reason....
-
- >3. Most consistent initiator & promoter of dialogue. (Threadmaker Award)
- >
- Mike Masuda. The childhood music posts - mine will join later today - were
- some of the best I've read, and they are only a small sample of his
- creations...
-
- >5. Nastiest poster (Painful Plague Prize)
- >
- That SNYPLAVA schmuck - Ben, I think his name was....Even Len isn't that
- bad...
-
- >6. Friendliest and kindest Allmusicker.
- >
- Although many of you fall under this general heading, I'll put my vote in
- for Renato Barahona. Not only has the man helped me out with music stuff,
- but law school stuff as well! He is unfailingly polite and genuinely
- pleasant....lord, I sound like his campaign manager!
-
- >7. Clueless poster award. (Frippie Prize)
- >
- >Any and all peole who "unsubscribe" to the whole damn list!!!!!
-
- >10. Sexiest poster. (Libby Doe Prize)
-
- Libby Doe!
-
- >12. Best Allmusic flamer.
- >
- Bloomdido. Even when he flames you, you feel honored.
-
- >15. Classiest Allmusicker.
- >
- Gary. He's willing to do this compilation thing!!!
-
- >16. Most dazzling all-around poster.
- >
- Bloomdido again. Although it's not really fair. He does post all at once,
- so the wisdom is more concentrated...
-
- >17. Keeper of the Allmusic flame award. (To the person who epitomizes
- >the spirit & ideals -- whatever they might be -- of the list. This is the
- >highest honor that can be accorded an Allmusicker.)

- Wow, that's hard. But I'll have to nominate Sonia Kovitz. She is pleasant,
- funny and knowledgable. Her review of "Ionisation" kept me laughing for a
- long time. Her Blues Roots tapes show amazing taste, and her interest in
- other forms of music is incredible. Finally, and most importantly, her
- persistance at the guitar is the mark of a real musician. I believe the
- encouragement she received from many on the list is quite indicative of how
- well-thought-of she is. We love you Sonia, oh yes we dooooooo.....
-
-
- That's my nominations! Welcome back everyone.....
