Sure would like to make it to Nashville to see this, and unless I find a job, I won't be working that day... Unfortunately, I'm not a 'paid conference registrant.'

More excellent news for Don. He's going to be busy this fall.

Congrats to him and Ricky Skaggs who's also a great artist. Kudos also to Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings. Time, The Revelator is a great and worth checking out.

Oh, I hope some of you guys will be able to post snippets of the show 'cos we won't get to see it over here :sad: that's the trouble when your favourite man lives on the other side of the world - 'long distance love' :)

Greats to Don and Ricky Skaggs. 2015 is becoming a jumping year. I wonder what 2016 will bring.

The disadvantage of it being on PBS is you don't know when its coming on. For example, they will say its coming on December 8, but it doesn't come on in my city. I hope I get to see it. But than again. Its probably not going to come on during the pledge drive they have at different times of the year. So I probably will see it when it first come on.

DD. PBS usually post it on their website for a while.

Don't know if this is the same article. Different web address:

It came up in a Shakey Graves Google alert but I can't see anything about Shakey?

Don was first. Country singer Rodney Crowell introduced him. A nice little speech before Don came out. He wore a tan like shirt and jacket with light blue jeans. It looks like he shaved. He sang Praying for Rain. He dedicated the song to the farmers and the people out west. It was nice. He said something like he never played the Rymsn, but he's fixin' to. Something like that. A southern saying we say in the south.

A few pictures before the event. Nice smile, Don. You can also see what he wore tonight.

The webcast is still going. So if you want to watch Don's part before the event ends, Rodney Crowell starts talking about Don around 36:35.

He looked so different from the still photo & TV. Whoever did his make-up, WOW!

I know. The lighting was terrible. It looked like Don had just got back from vacation with a fresh tan. When the picture from Gettyimage, he doesn't look that dark and his hair is even darker not look like salt and pepper.

Here's some more pictures from last night i found on Instagram.

Don't forget the Americana Awards is this Saturday the 21st on PBS. Check your local listing for time.

Unless it changes when they edited, Don will be the first award. Thank goodness. So you don't have to watch the whole thing. Their will be a music group (I think they are called Alabama Shakers) singing first and then Don.
