I was really pulling for D. L. Menard, but congrats to Chubby. He has worked so hard. In honor, I created his band wikipedia page (link 1), and an album page on wikipedia for the winning album (link 2)

I'm like you Michael, I wanted DL to get the recognition, but Chubby's a really nice guy (plus, he married a girl from just down the road in Eureka Springs, ARK), so congratulations to him.

Congrats to CC and band and all of their support infrastructure...

I first saw and met him at the now defunct Cajun and Zydeco Festival in Ft Lauderdale. Man..what a show...a HUGE marquee filled to overflowing and that BIG sound and energy really got me.
I still say it was one of the best LIVE shows I've seen. Can't wait to get back to the USA and catch one of his gig again.

CC's a really nice guy..he deserves STACKS of acknowledgements and awards/rewards.

I'm glad Chubby won it, and like mentioned above I would have liked DL to win as well.

Chubby's not only a great musician but a very down to earth person. I got to work with him and did the artwork and photography for Zydeco Junkie as well as his promo video and he was very cool to work with. Gained a great friend out of the deal.
