Hey all! Sorry I've been MIA for a couple weeks - been crazy busy over here...Just want to update you - our CD Stardust is on the Grammy ballot - 6 spots, 5 categories! Being independent artists, we're asking all of our music buddies that you consider voting for Stardust.Only voting members of the Recording Academy are eligible to vote, but even if you are not a Recording Academy voting member, please help spread the word to your musical friends near and far – you never know who are Recording Academy members, or are friends of, or are related to members! Every vote will help Stardust get nominated! Ballots need to be received at the Deloitte & Touche office by November 5. We're going to help raise funds for a groundbreaking study dealing with music and autism shortly, (more details later) so any attention that comes to Stardust will help benefit this study.Here are the categories:Field 18 - Children'sCategory 77 - Best Musical Album for ChildrenWe are #093.

Thanks all! I had a bad link above - just fixed it. This whole Grammy process is so cool - a lot of work, but I'm learning more every day. I'll post about it when this is over... Hugs, Cher
