Congratulations, Ronn. To you and The Eggmen. Doesn't that make something like 8 wins in 10 years for the band? Whatever the number is, that's remarkable in a music town like Austin.

Thanks everyone, we're very happy and dare I say, proud of our 8th year to win(and my first time to make the bass guitarist list), if we can win two more times we go into the Austin Music Hall of Fame!
