Hey, I just found out one of my songs was nominated for a Just Plain Folks Music Award. JPF is a worldwide music community and they are in the middle of the biggest music award program I've ever heard of. After a year of judging, the nominees have been revealed. There were 140,000 (that's one hundred and forty thousand) songs entered from 85 countries. In my estimation, there are around 1400 song nominees in 48 categories, one of which is children's. That puts all the nominees in the top 1% of entries, so it's a big honor to be nominated, even if the song doesn't go on to win an award.
The song of mine they picked for a nomination is "Tropeo the Pirate." It's on my Take Me to Your Library CD, and it has long been my dad's favorite of all my songs.
Congratulations to all the nominees in the children's category! Here they are (in alphabetical order):
