    Golijov, eh? I totally called it:

    And the Grammy goes to… Golijov, I have to assume; but I am rooting, of course, for Carter (and for Bridge Records).

    Bridge is also nominated in a couple other categories for the Lieberson “Neruda Songs” recording.

    No big surprises. I was dissapointed, although not surprised, that Ornette didn’t win in the jazz category.

    Props to my heroine Natalie Maines and to the sweetest little voice in the universe–Corinne Bailey Rae. That child can sing me lullabies anytime anywhere.

    Whoops – Ornette won a Lifetime Achievement Award.

    Wow, the disc I’m on won!

    The Messiaen with the Cleveland Chamber Symphony with John McLaughin Williams/Angelin Chang

    I think it’s my snare drum artistry that put it over the top… :-)

    I can confirm that it was Mel Csicsilla’s unique method of striking the snare drum with his elbows that put L’oiseaux over the top. Way to go!

    John and Mel (& Angelin & the whole CSO crew, too), congratulations on getting the spotlight to shine on one of the absolute formative pieces this composer grew up on as a teen (though my heart will always have an extremely soft spot for that original Václav Neumann/Yvonne Loriod/Czech Phil. Orch. on Candide).
