THE GRAMMY-T OF THE SITUATION

I SAT DOWN AT MY COMPUTOR AND CONFRONTED THIS YEARS 1ST ROUND GRAMMY BALLOT THE OTHER DAY.FOUR HOURS LATER I WAS FINISHED! IT'S AN HONOR AND A PRIVLIGE TO BE A VOTING GRAMMY MEMBER BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE-TO DO THIS JOB JUSTICE TAKES ALOT OF MUSIC ACUMAN AND THE PATIENCE OF JOB.IF EVERY GRAMMY VOTER IS AS DILLIGANT AS I WAS-AND I BELIEVE MOST OF THEM ARE - THEN OVER 32,000 HOURS WENT INTO VOTING IN
JUST THIS FIRST ROUND.THAT'S ALOT OF WORKIN' TIME! BUT IT'S JUST A FRACTION OF THE ENTIRE PROCESS.SO I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS THIS IS ONE HUGE OPERATION-GETTING IT ALL RIGHT IS A DAUNTING TASK.I'M GLAD TO SEE MORE ARTISTS TAKING PART IN THE GRAMMYS.IT'S FOOLISH TO PRETEND THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR WORK AND IT'S ARROGANT TO THINK YOUR TOO COOL TO COMPETE WITH EVERYONE ELSE. GOOD LUCK TO
ALL THE PROSPECTIVE NOMINEES AND OH YEAH- ONE LAST THING-IF YOU VOTED
FOR MY VIDEO, "I'M MOVIN' ON",THANKS FOR YOUR VOTE ! WHIETHER I MAKE IT ANY FURTHER IN THE VOTING PROCESS OR NOT-I'M JUST GLAD TO BE A PART THE GRAMMYS-IT'S AN EXCITING AND ENLIGHTING EXPIERIENCE-P.HOLLY
