My pal Julie and I at the Washington Area Music Association WAMMIE Awards - "Hinkley" Hilton hotel, Washington DC 1994. This is the hotel where President Reagan was shot. I would lose that night. The next year I was up for Male Vocalist along with Dave Matthews (he won of course). Then I finally won 2 awards in 1996 beating out Theivery Corp. one of the greatest acts DC has ever produced. I guess patience is a virtue.
