Did you know that there is a Music Educator Award given out at the Grammys? Did you know the winner gets $10,000? Well there is, they do and it could go to a Sulphur teacher this year!
While there's no longer a Cajun/Zydeco award in the Grammy lineup (which we totally disagree with), the artform was well-represented in the new "Regional Roots" category at the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday. And while neither of the Cajun/Zydeco nominees took the award home, a Grammy still came back to Louisiana courtesy of the Rebirth Brass Band.
I cant believe that after years of fighting for this category to be added, the Grammy Awards people have decided to eliminate the category starting in 2012.
