Greetings Ladybugs and Gentleworms!
(assortment of groans and a smattering of polite applause)
Wow, tough crowd tonight… Who is ready for the 2020 Golden Lions Awards!
(better applause, a few cheers)
Oh, you can do better than that! Let’s make some noise! One more time,
WHO IS READY FOR THE 2020 GOLDEN LIONS AWARDS!!!(Big cheers, whistles, partial standing ovation)
That’s more like it!
First I would like to thank the Woodmen of the World for allowing us use their nice facility for free. The only caveat is that we have to make sure to clean it up afterward this program, and also every Saturday morning for the next 8 weeks. I will be asking for volunteers after the show.
I see some of you are still coming in. Please put any refreshments on the two folding tables in the rear of the room. Drinks and punch go on table one, assorted guacamole dips can all go on table two. I do have some simple instructions for Dave’s famous grasshopper tacos. 1) Remove from the wrapper, and 2) place directly into the toilet. There was an intermediate step that involved eating the tacos, but I removed that step to save you some significant pain and embarrassment.
For our pre-show entertainment, Miss Sally Jackson, owner of Twinkletoes Dance Studio on the corner of 3rd and Rivers, has brought her intermediate class and they are going to practice some of their new clogging routines on us! Please get settled in and greet one another. I’m going to go make some notes. We will get this show on the road in just a little bit!
While you are mingling, feel free to check out some of the awards shows of glory days gone past:
2019 Golden Lions Awards
2018 Golden Lions Awards
2017 Golden Lions AwardsOk, Ok, is this thing on?
(thump thump riiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnngggggg)
I guess so! OK everyone take your seats and quieten down, it’s time for the awards! First off I’d like to say that we got a good spread of votes this year, and so many should be honored tonight for their contributions. To prevent leaving anyone out, however, I am not going to anounce any honorable mentions this year except for the People’s Choice award.
Once again, our awards are courtesy of the Fiddlerman Fiddlershop in Pompano Beach, FL.
Fiddlerman has donated the prize for the brand new “People’s Choice” award, which is a $100 gift certificate to the Fiddlershop! If you are a recipient of any of tonight’s awards, here are the instructions for claiming your prize: After the awards are over, watch your email for an email from me (john@bluegrassdaddy.com). This email will contain a code for your gift certificate to the Fiddlerman Fiddlershop. When you visit the Fiddlershop to make an online purchase, you will enter this as a promotional code, and the amount of the certificate will be subtracted from your order.
Moderator’s Award
$50Okay, me and my team just arrived, and I am in a mad rush. The shrunken head bow tie that Rittle Rotus Brossum gave me for Christmas is choking me! She said it used to be her grandmother whom she loved so much, and said that she would really feel like her grandmother were here at the awards with us if I wore it. So I stupidly agreed.
The Moderator’s Award is still on as far as I am aware, but am not able to locate John at the moment to get a definite on this. I’ve looked in the Green Room, in the Blue Room, in the Red Room, and I have even looked in the Bath Room, but no sign of him. I figure he’s either back stage fixing that pesky microphone, or he has been taste -testing all the dips and could possibly be laying unconscious on the floor somewhere — or — just being a little camera shy. Yeah, right! 🙂 How very nice of Pierre aka “Fiddlerman” to support the Golden Lion awards again this year.
And now for a word from our sponsor:
Folks, if you haven’t done so already, please check out Fiddlerman’s amazing shop of stringed goodies at fiddlershop.com. Here you will find everything you need for your stringed instrument at a very competitive price, including friendly personalized service. Plus, he even has a fabulous bricks and mortar building in Pompana Beach, Florida. This is a fantastic store run by a super professional friendly team. Whatever you want for your stringed instruments, Fiddlershop.com has it. Don’t have a violin? Then here’s your chance to grab a quality fiddle / violin at a really super price. Get free shipping (to most US states) when you spend over $25, PLUS … get $10 off your first order. Call, e-Mail, chat, or simply drop in and speak to Pierre, Mike, and the very knowledgeable team at:
1550 SW 13th Ct, Pompano Beach, Florida, 33069
+ 1 – 800 – 595 -0592
Okay, I just located John —caught him with his finger in the tangy Scorpion dip moments after he had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on one of our members after they got a hair ball lodged in their throat. I did warn them about eating anything that once meowed but they just wouldn’t listen.
Okay, now back to the awards:
It was a difficult decision deciding who should receive the Moderator’s award, simply because there were so many fantastic entries. As you all know, the Moderator’s award is given annually to the person who I feel has shown some really good progress in their fiddle playing over the time that they have been a member here at BGD. Choosing who should receive the Moderators award was just so darn difficult, because there were two members whom I had in mind, and it was a very close call. However, sadly, there is only one award.
The Moderator’s award for the 2019 goes to

Congratulations to everyone at BGD and to the winners in all the category’s and congratulations to my friend Cricket for getting the top win two years in a row which I think is very deserving you really are great , love everything you do !
Yes, FRed…I’m with you on that. Well, I’d like to congratulate JBounds, who is at work…come back home, JBounds, and Edmo, Kaeleigh, Gunnar, and everybody else who participates here at BGD. Seems like it’s been a pretty good year…lots of playing and talking and such…not too much eating except for tonight, of course…but all gross…uh, I mean GOOD stuff here for the partiers to consume.
Well all day I thought it was the 14th, and was reminded a few times, but just got it in my head it was the 14th…so…I’m sorry for coming in late.
Thank you so much, John, and Scott…this is a great place to hangout, share our music, learn from the lessons, learn from each other, just be together with friends. I love the site and very happy to be a part of it.’
Thanks again for my award…I’m sure I could never deserve such a thing.

O The Maidens of Hickory Hollow* (CC) 12/5Thank you all and congratulations to all of our winners! I was awed and humbled by all of the incredible music in this year’s forums. There were so many others that I couldn’t even begin to thank and mention them all! Thank you all for a wonderful year here at BGDU. I hope to hear much more from all of you in the coming year!
PS – Don’t forget to clean up on your way out. I will need at least two volunteers to put up chairs and to clean up under the guacamole table. Please use the trash bins around back — don’t leave the bags up by the mail boxes like you did last year.
Good night everyone!
Fred! Congrats on that Composer’s Award!!! Great job! You sure deserve it too.
John, I’ll help with the chairs but I refuse to go near the guacamole!
Thanks again, John.
Congratulations JBounds, Fred and Cricket, Edmo, Kaeleigh and Gunnar! All very deserving recipients. To those members who entered the Lion’s Den and Composer’s Corner in 2019 but did not receive an award, I would like to thank you all very, very much for posting your videos and sound clips in these forums and for sharing your fiddle journey with us. I hope to eagerly follow your fiddle journey in 2020.
WOW! I can’t believe how quick the evening went by. BUT, what a wonderful night it was, indeed. Man, we are so lucky to have such wonderful people here at BGD.
Goodnight, good people. My carriage awaits to take me back to the graveyard. Sleep tight.
This is Great Scott signing off. 🙂
Thank You all so very much. This is incredible.
Congrats to Kaeleigh and Gunnar for such a demonstration of talent. It’s so wonderful to know that fiddling will be passed on and stay alive for generations to come.
Edmo, the porch and now inside has certainly heard some wonderful fiddle tunes that you’ve developed and shared with us all. We all appreciate and congratulate you on your great progress throughout the year. Keep it up, we need to hear your fiddlin’ now that we’re hooked on it!
Cricket, you’re just incredible at all the talent you have. Congrats! Your talent knows no ends! It’s a pleasure.
John congrats on the Moderator’s Award. What an honor. Keep up the wonderful fiddling. I really enjoy it.
Thank you all so much for my awards.
(If y’all don’t mind, I’m gonna take the possum-guacamole casserole with me. It’s yummy! lol)
