DS is nominated for a grammy(yes, Mom brag)!

[Simba's Mom]

DS just called to tell me that his jazz band got nominated for 2 grammy awards last night. He's so excited, and so am I. Right now, he's working on a cruise ship, so phone calls aren't cheap, but he's calling everyone he knows to tell them.

That's right! The band is directed by Steve Weist, managed by Craig Marshall. If you goto UNT, you must know the One O'clock lab band. He was in it for 4 semesters, but this is his first grammy nomination.
agnes!, I don't know if it's on youtube-I never thought to check.
happygirl,if possible,he really wants to go to the grammys. May be a thought for a Christmas gift.
