Thanks for the links Doug. I have 2 thoughts after reading the posts and looking at the links: if I remember correctly Adam Steffey never even received a nomination for mandolin player while he was with AKUS. Also, why are there no pics of AKUS playing/with spouses/backstage like other folks?
I do agree with everybody and feel like jealously is a big reason they don't win anything. I would really like to ask IBMAs to rethink their neglection of AKUS when it comes to recognition. I just wonder how long AKUS will participate in the IBMAs. I think CMT and other press will stop covering bluegrass if AKUS isn't there. It is obvious they are the biggest act in bluegrass (no matter what the awards say) and I think they deserve some recognition for that!
It made me mad (although not surprised) when I read the list of winners. I mean, they were "beaten" by people who aren't even in bands and by bands I've never heard of! I talked with my friends last night and they hadn't heard of some of the winners either. It's offensive to the biggest band in the industry.

Thank you, Doug..for the pictures....also, Monica you pointed out some interesting things.....if I am correct, the last time that I looked at the Top 20 albums in BG....Alison and Akus had 3 albums out of 20,,,,and Living Prayer is still the no. 1 Gospel BG song.....to me it sure seems that the IBMA members are jealous of AKUS and their success..the award choices just make no sense to anyone who is looking...and I don't think that it's the winners who are that way....but the membership in general....they are the ones who vote....they seem to know it would be obvious not to nominate the most successful band in BG History....I know I've posted about this before, I think AKUS fans are very smart people, and we do notice things.... anyone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong....I don't mind.

This is kind of off topic, and some of you might make fun cause I don't know what it is... but what in the world is poke salad?? haha. On the show, it sounded like Alison said polk salad, but then other people call it poke salad. I tried looking it up, only to get even more confused with what it was actually called. Oh, and I now know that there was once actually a song about it too. lol. I got the fact that it's a food, but that's about it. Then I also found out a bunch of other foods made in the south... scrapple? lol. Like I said, some of ya might laugh at this, but I really don't know! haha.

Poke salad is made from Pokeweed. It grows wild around here and I think most of the south. It actually grows in our backyard. The plant grows tall and has fairly large leaves and has purple berries by the end of the summer. What's interesting is that it is poisonous! I have never had the salad itself but know that people will gather the leaves and wash and boil them numerous times to remove the poison. Then they fry the leaves with bacon until they get brown...brown as a poke... as Ricky said. I never had heard that poke salad was "poke" salad because it was brown but just thought it was because it came from pokeweed. Anyway, if you are like Alison, then you probably have never heard of a "poke" either. It's an old term for a brown paper bag. You may have heard the term "Pig in a Poke".

I have reposted the music from the IBMAs and they should sound much better when you download them. Sorry about the earlier problem.

Actually, I don't think I've ever heard that expression before either. I asked my dad about what a poke plant was a little while ago, and come to find out we actually have one growing by our front porch. haha. What can I say? I'm from the grand state of Indiana (well, born and half raised in Kentucky) so I don't really hear much about too many southern foods. haha. Thanks for explaining it to me zdje!

That's a great picture of the two. You said that was from the IBMA's, correct? Was it when they were practicing or something? Thanks for the post.

The photos of Alison dressed more casual were taken at the IBMA Fan Fest on Friday evening.

So, wait a minute...is Pokeweed the same thing as leaf lettuce? Because I've been eating that all my life and had no CLUE it was poisonous lol! But that's how we cook it so I'm thinking it's the same thing . Stacy
