Hood proud of Grammy-winning collaboration | TimesDaily.com | The Times Daily | Florence, AL:
"The Truckers played a show in Tuscaloosa on Saturday and Hood said he forgot about the Grammys when he arrived home in Athens, Ga.
Then he received a text message informing him that 'Potato Hole' had won a Grammy.
'I received another 20 in the next 15 minutes,' he said.
Hood said he and the Truckers have no problem whatsoever playing the role of the backing musicians.
'It feels great,' Hood said. 'I'm really, really, really thrilled for Booker. Of course, it's good for us, too, since we were definitely heavily involved with the record. Just getting to work with Booker was winning an award.'"

"January 28, 2010: The Prometheus Radio Project says the Local Community Radio Act -- which would open the door to potentially thousands of new low-power FMs -- is 'in the home stretch,' but there are still obstacles.
On the group's website, Prometheus says, 'In our fight to pass the Local Community Radio Act, every victory we celebrate comes with a new hurdle to overcome.' The group notes that the bill has passed out of committee in the Senate and must pass the full Senate to go to President Obama for signature, and that it still needs to be officially reported and filed."

'Ghosts' resurrects Kip Winger's career:
"When the grunge thing hit,' Kip Winger explains, 'it was like all the 1980s bands were gone. Overnight.'
It's a well-referenced piece of musical history. Nirvana's 1991 album 'Nevermind' sold 10 million copies, and Winger the band became an oft-used punch line.
That brutal ending was also the beginning for the artist, who is about to execute one of the all-time improbable musical resurrections. Winger, who spent much of the past 17 years studying classical music composition, on Tuesday will premiere his first symphonic piece with the San Francisco Ballet. He wrote the music for 'Ghosts,' featuring choreography by Christopher Wheeldon."
