Last Wednesday night I was in the back of Avalon in Boston at the Boston Music Awards talking to my friend Dan Millen. There was a presenter on the stage reading off some names and I wasn’t even sure which award it was for. When I heard the list of names I realized that it was the Male singer songwriter category. The category in which I asked everyone here on myspace to vote for me. Up to this point in my life I had won a hot dog at a baseball game and a soccer trophy for a season in which I only made half the games. Once they ran through the names and I heard my name read off in the list I remember thinking, “that’s nice, I got to hear my name read from a big stage”. Then comes the moment of: “And the winner is….” At which point I turned back to my friend Dan and continued our conversation. It turns out I underestimated the power YOU! Everyone who must have voted! This was a category of 7 amazing singer songwriters from New England and I somehow squeaked out on top? I have no idea what I said onstage for the acceptance speech. I don’t think I said anything in English. When they said, “The winner is Will Dailey!” they started blasting Undone. And I was.
Thanks to all of you for voting and all your continued support. It makes a difference…. Clearly.
