Crikey it’s the WAMMIES

I honored that my fellow WAMA members have nominated the Cravin’ Dogs for Pop Rock Duo/Group, and our most recent album, Sounds Like a Wiener, for Pop Rock Album, and Album of the Year to boot!

But rock has marked the time. This stage, this music: it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of [...]
