Song of the Year won’t be knocked down to 5. There are always 10 nominees in that category.
Comment by Grigs (April 8, 2008, 1:14 pm)
Re: Comment #5. I think there are some EHSS fans who subscribe to the Singing News for the sole purpose of voting for the guys come Fan Awards time.
Re: Comment #8. Chris, I knew that, but since Donna narrowed it down, I figured I’d join in the fun and frivolity.

If they did it these would be the picks for Song:
Holy Shore
The Great I Am Still Is
If You Only Knew
Praying Man
What We Needed
My votes will be going primarily for the first artist I listed under each category.They REALLY need to let us subscribers vote online…instead of mailing it in….

Would Charlotte Ritchie leaving Jeff & Sheri Easter disquallify her from the award @ NQC? (although she may get the nomination since some fans still exclusivley get SG news out of the SN magazine. The press releases can be nearly 3 months old when printed in a magazine)
What about Jon Willburn & Jason Waldroup?
Comment by D.J. (April 10, 2008, 8:07 pm)
In response to comment number 9: Is there a reason why you had to post that? EHSS has fans who suscribe to that magazine to read it. They don’t just do it to vote for the guys.
Comment by Grigs (April 10, 2008, 9:26 pm)
DJ, the reason that I posted comment 9 was to respond to comment 5. No, I didn’t have to. I didn’t say all EHSS fans subscribe for thar reason, just some of them, just some of them.
In other words, is there a reason why you had to post that?
Comment by Grigs (April 10, 2008, 9:27 pm)
That’s what I get for posting when I’m in a hurry.
Comment by D.J. (April 10, 2008, 10:45 pm)
Sorry Grigs, I guess I just took it the wrong way.
Comment by Grigs (April 11, 2008, 1:22 am)
The main point is that not all EHSS fans are SG fans, but the non-SG people are some of the most loyal fans they’ve got. Some of these folks travel hundreds of miles for a concert so 20 bucks just to help Ernie and the guys win an an award is no big deal.
No apology necessary, DJ.
Comment by D.J. (April 11, 2008, 7:49 am)
I am one of the groupies. I will definitely drive a couple of hours to see the guys!
Comment by Belinda (April 16, 2008, 1:08 pm)
Would love to see the Crabb kids win something they have not in won in a few years.
