One week, two awards


K, I know it sounds like I am tooting my horn here and well... I guess I am. But really I am also tooting yours... ok that may come across wrong, but you'll see where I'm going with this!

I just spend the last two weeks on planes, in hotels and at various showcases and award shows. It's been an awesome couple of weeks and I am so proud to have won not one but two awards in the past week. You already know about the CFMA award from the previous post, but I wanted to share with you my recent award: Male artist of the year at the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards. Some of you know I've been at this for a good chunk of my life and know that I have been working very hard and not that awards are the be all and end all, it's just a nice reminder of all the work that I do.

On the other hand it all started because people actually believed in me enough to support me and come to my shows and buy my CDs and give me that "Way to go" after the show. I'll never for a second think I got here on my own. I am here because I am loved by the most beautiful lady, supported by the best family and friends and fans that have have stuck with me. And, we've only just begun!

I am grateful.

I'm really proud of you Don— but who is the goofy looking idiot in that last picture holding up your awards?

So, when can I purchase my Don Amero action figure? I hope he comes with his own private jet and trophy case.
Atta boy Don! Wooo Hooo
