Looks like Dan has been replaced by Ricky Skaggs this year for the IBMAs. Maybe Dan was unavailable. I thought he and Alison worked well together as they know each other so well. Anyway we'll see how it goes this year. Hope it will be broadcasted at least over satelite. Source: www.krvn.com/news/music.cfm?id=11926"ALISON KRAUSS, RICKY SKAGGS: HOSTING BLUEGRASS MUSIC ASSOCIATION AWARDS NASHVILLE (AP) - Alison Krauss and Ricky Skaggs will host the International Bluegrass Music Association's awards show on October 27th, at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. This will be Krauss' third time at the podium. She co-hosted last year with Dan Tyminski. The I-B-M-A awards will be recorded live, with award winners in 17 categories, and two inductions into the Bluegrass Hall of Honor." |

Alison and Dan do work really great together. But I think anyone could get along with Alison just fine! Last year, I don't think the award show was broadcasted. It says "The I-B-M-A awards will be recorded live...", so doesn't that mean that it will appear on t.v?? I hope so, cause I love hearing Alison on stage, she's so funny!! I was gonna go last year because it was close to where I live, but we ended up not going. I wish I did though!

Last year it was broadcast over the SIRRIUS Satellite Network. It also was made available through a recording to radio stations for re-broadcasting at a time they chose. Last year I contacted IBMA for a list of stations that had agreed to broadcast the show. I got a reply telling me that they would send me the list just as soon as it was finalized. I never got a response, but it didn't matter as I was able to hear and record the show live over SIRRIUS. Looks like the same thing this year, Take a look at this from the IBMA site: www.ibma.org/ibma.awards/broadcast.affiliation.aspHopefully SIRRIUS will pick it up, but I would be amazed if it makes TV at this late date. |

Ok, thanks so much! I wasn't at all sure how I would be able to see or listen to it. I wasn't even gonna take the same chance as last year and just wait and hope it would be on t.v and miss it. So, thanks a bunch for all the help zdje!!

Did anyone listen to it live last year? I heard that Alison said some off-color stuff and on another board it was rumored that she wouldn't be asked back (there were a few things deleted after the live broadcast apparently). Her humor is very funny and off-beat but there was some talk on one of the boards that she went over the top. Something about she saw Dan and Ricky Skaggs kissing backstage? I don't know because I only heard a repeat of the show on a local station in Chattanooga and it was already deleted. Just a question.

Well, I guess they were wrong about one thing... Alison's back this year!! But her humor is soo funny, and I wouldn't be shocked if somethin she said was deleted, cause she always talks about goofy and random things like that!! But I think those are the best ones! I don't know, I guess us HUGE akus fans are the ones who really appreciate the hilarious humor! lol. I didn't get to hear the show at all last year, so I'm sorry I can't help you any Monica.

Monica,
I recorded the show from last year and don't really remember anything controversial. Its about 2 1/2 hours so will listen the next day or two and see if there was anything to it.

I've never been able to watch the IBMA's as I don't have satellite...it sucks, too! I'd love to watch Alison host an awards show. Last year I had some friends that won a trip to play the IBMA's...you know like one of the bands that aren't famous that win battles of the bands to play. Anyway, they of course got to meet Alison and Dan and one of them even sang a song with Dan, but now I can't remember which one he said they did. I was soooooooooo jealous, though! That friend now tours with Don Rigsby as his guitarist which is cool because Don Rigsby recorded a song that my dad wrote on his last album and will be recording at least one more of his songs on his album they plan on starting in October. Anyway, I got sidetracked.

Oh, and I meant to say about the offcolor statements, that if anyone got up in arms over something like that then they need to pull the corncob out. Good grief.

Monica,
I just listened to last year's broadcast and heard the comment by Alison about 30 minutes into the broadcast. Alison was introducing Ricky and said, "...Dan says he (Ricky) was a really good kisser." and that was it. I guess I didn't necessarily take it to mean that Dan told Alison that Ricky kissed him "really good", but you could take it that way, I guess.
Also, the broadcast last year was on Sirius Satelite radio, that anyone can listen too with an internet connection if you sign up for a free three day trial. That's how I heard it last year. I haven't heard, though, if Sirius is broadcasting it again this year.
