Behind Door #16: Congratulations Are in Order

I’m thrilled to find out that two of my friends have recently received some pretty exciting recognition for their creative work:

• My friend Betsy’s book Color of Wealth was named one of The Progressive
  magazine’s top books of 2006.
• Former housemate and fiddle mentor, Andrea’s record Hambo in the Snow (recorded with another fiddling buddy, Loretta) just got nominated for a Grammy in the Traditional World Music category.

Kudos to them. What a great way to end the year!
