For Your Consideration 2019

Posted on 2019-09-28 Written by D. Lee Jackson Leave a Comment

First round GRAMMY® voting is under way until October 10th, 2019, and “What It Shall Be” is on the list for Best Instrumental Composition and for Record of the Year!

Now, for those of you unfamiliar with the way GRAMMY® voting works, there are two rounds. The first round is where everyone who has made an eligible recording can submit their work for consideration. That’s where “What It Shall Be” is now. This does not mean it’s been “nominated” yet. Only the top tracks from the first round voting earn “nominated” status. Those tracks move on to second round voting, which is where the actual winners of the GRAMMY® awards are decided.

Put simply, I’m in first round voting, hoping to make it into the second round. Wish me luck!

The announcement has been officially made—I’ve been invited to be a special Musical Guest on Jon St. John‘s NotCon at Sea cruise/convention in February of 2020! The official announcement is posted off to the left.

Some of the activities are a little bit better defined than they were in my previous post. Jon says there will be karaoke each night of the cruise for the group. He also said he’d give me some time before the karaoke starts to give away the autographed Calibrations T-shirts and albums. Also, on one night before karaoke, group members will get to hear a special exclusive preview of a finished track from my upcoming second album!

Please click on the announcement graphic or go to JSJNotCon.com for more details about the cruise. I’m looking forward to meeting you there!
