Help my friend win a Bammie!
Jason David Thompson
Warning: blatant lobbying ahead...
A very good friend of mine is nominated for a Bammie in the category of
Outstanding Americana/Roots Band! A Bammie is a Bay Area Music award
for those of you who aren't enlightened - the SF Bay Area equivalent of
a
Grammy. The band is SWEET VIRGINIA and my friend is their lead guitarist
and founding member TOMMY LOFTUS.
Anyways, we want to make sure that Tommy and the gang get the
recognition they deserve, so I'm encouraging everyone I know to go pick
up a copy of BAM magazine and fill in the ballot. Make sure you check
off SWEET VIRGINIA in the AMERICANA/ROOTS BAND category and fill it out
in INK. Ballots must be sent to BAM magazine postmarked by February 14,
1997.
For those of you who live outside the bay area or are too damn lazy to
do all the paperwork (myself included), there is a web ballot
available...

If you're feeling up to it, there are write in categories available as
well...
Bay Area Musician of the Year (Public Write-in)
Bay Area Club Band of the Year (Public Write-in)
But don't let me influence you ***Tommy Loftus/Sweet Virginia***. You
make your own decisions. :-) Feel free to forward this message to
friends. Every vote counts!
Thanks!
JT
