Last night at the Poetry Scores board meeting we finalized one date on our 2009 calendar: Friday, Feb. 6 we will host a Grammy Launch Party for Adam Long at The Royale, 3132 S Kingshighway Blvd. We forgot to discuss the time, but let's say 9 p.m. to ?.
He'll leave the next day for Los Angeles, where that Sunday he will have two opportunities to win the big one. Unbelievably, for an independent studio engineer living in St. Louis, two records he recorded, mixed and mastered - Gypsy: The Original Broadway Cast Recording and Our World Redeemed, by local gospel hip-hopper Flame - have been nominated for a 2008 Grammy.
