Folks,

It's that time of year again. For the fourth year, WUMB invites you to VOTE for the Top 100 Artists of the year. Ellis Paul came in at #30 in 2006, #13 in 2007, and #18 in 2008.

Vote by Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2009. It would be nice if EP bests his own record in 2009!

Jimmy LaFave??? I seem to vaguely remember someone with that name! HA!

Heard it. Glad he made the top 100.

Hoping Ellis kicks Dylan's butt and makes #1!

YEE HAW! The countdown ended today with #14 - Patty Griffin - which means EP has to have equaled or bested his best showing and has to be in the top 13 being announced tomorrow! This is exciting! :)

Jela, Mark Erelli came in at #27. Not too shabby! :)

This is awful, but I don't remember if I heard 13. I thought it was Nanci Griffith, but I see she was 12, so maybe I didn't hear it. I'm thinking I didn't as I was seeing the kids out the door for school, so didn't turn radio on until 7:15 or so.

Was just on the phone with my boss and heard Ellis and I thought, oh NO. Glad it was just one tune!!!!!

I'm thinking "seven" was a subtle (or not-so-subtle) clue......and he's gonna be #7. Time will tell...... :)

GAWD, I love that song. "I'm letting go 'cause holding on's killing me"......OMG

I'm quite sure Ellis was not #13. I'm pretty sure I heard a man singing when I turned on the radio and he was #13, but it wasn't Ellis. It's driving me nuts I can't remember. It was only 3 hours ago for crying out loud!

Well, because it WASN'T Ellis, I guess I wasn't really paying attention!
