It’s all about corporate politics and back-scratching and log-rolling and not much about music at all. Awards mean a great deal to the audience, and if someone introduces me and mentions that I won a Grammy, people perk right up. But it’s a scam. Hawaiian music doesn’t need trophies–it needs musicians to carry on the tradition.” [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
