Is Owen Saunders Balder's brother? I'm assuming he's in this band...

You assumed correctly.

Go to their website and listen to some samples from their new album. You can hear Owen play the fiddle.

So weird how they hardly look alike at all!

I know! I googled before y'all replied and I knew my assumtion was correct. I went to their myspace. Great sound. Too bad they didn't win but it's pretty grayt to be nominated.

I missed so much of it last night. I saw a lot of the performances & never once saw an award presentation! However, I'm not into mainstream music so most of my favorites either are not shown or are not even nominated. (but I do like Gnarls B.)

I saw Christina Aguilera perform and boy, she blew me away. Not a fan of her music but the girl can sing! Wow! Same goes for Mary J. Blige. Unbelievable.

And don't even get me started on the Dixie Chicks. My views on them have nothing to do with their "incident."

ck, ditto on both counts. I also would have been happy to see Imogen Heap win, I love her.


Jenay, David Davis and the Warrior River Boys were nominated for best bluegrass album:

Here's the full winners list:

I don't see them listed under Best b-grass. Of course I am working with half the brain these days.

Ok, I was just going through the list, checking on all the stuff I missed...
I'm thrilled that Walk The Line got best soundtrack. Joaquin and Reece did amazingly well on that album IMO.

I'm horrified that 'My Humps' won Best Pop Performance (by duo or group). Nothing against the BEPs, but ugh... I'm a little biased, but 'Over My Head' by The Fray is so much better than that.

Sometimes I think these people vote with their eyes closed or something.

No, you are correct. I'm guessing the original list must get whittled down to the final five, which are then mentioned at the ceremony. I think...?

I saw that! My eyes did this . It's true, the masses are a$$es.

asn't the Police supposed to perform at the start? Did anyone see? How was it?

Stewart Copeland was always my big crush.
