For those of you who don’t know, The Blues Music Awards (once called the Handy’s)  are universally recognized as the highest accolade afforded musicians and songwriters in Blues music.  Voting is open to all members of the Blues Foundation, and if you are not already a member, please consider joining The Blues Foundation by going to www.blues.org.  Membership is only $25 a year, and it goes a long ways towards helping keep the blues alive.

Although this is his 16th nomination, Jimi has NEVER WON! That is 16 nominations in the 20 years there has been a drummer category, and 14 in a row.  His 16 nominations now make him the MOST nominated drummer in the history of the awards!  That is more nominations than legendary drummers, Willie “Big Eyes’ Smith (Muddy Waters) and Sam Lay (Howlin Wolf, Little Walter, Muddy Waters).  So, please consider voting for Jimi!
