Stefan Wood Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Persistence pays off! Congratulations!! Quote
Adam Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Congratulations! Now you need to make some more art! Quote
Spontooneous Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Congratulations, Allen! (And it's good to see you back regularly.) Better cash that check quick before the GOP dissolves the state arts commission, like they did here in Kansas. Quote
jeffcrom Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Congratulations! I'm glad Maine got it right. And the new album really is something special. Quote
Christiern Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 That is really wonderful news, Allan, and so richly deserved. I have for a long time wished that the McArthur people found you—I hope they do, but this is a splendid start. Really, really great news!!!! Quote
Dave James Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Very cool, Allen. I'm happy for you. Quote
ghost of miles Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Fantastic news, Allen, and much-deserved. And hey, while you're at it, write 'em a new, Allen-Lowe-style state anthem! Proud state of Maine Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Really fantastic news. Major congrats! Quote
Don Brown Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 Great news, Allen, and happy to see you back. Organissimo has been boring recently without your wry postings. Quote

Hot Ptah Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 It occurs to me that we should congratulate Allen, who has toiled for years, producing great work, and is finally getting some overdue public recognition--BUT, we should also buy his new album, "Blues and the Empirical Truth". To me, it is his masterpiece among his own albums, and one of the best new albums I have heard in years. I have played it many times and it is always fresh and rewarding. I think we should support this major work by one of our own. Quote
AllenLowe Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Posted August 16, 2011 I can't argue with that - Quote
johnlitweiler Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Allen, Xlento! (as Hank Mobley might say). Quote
AllenLowe Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Posted August 17, 2011 in my own weird way it makes me nervous - as long as no one recognizes anything you do on an official level you can do whatever the hell you want - now I'm afraid I'll have to meet some objective standard - maybe I'll decline the money - ****************************************** *************************what? are you effin crazy?

My advice to you--don't think so much. Deposit the money before you have another thought. Edited August 17, 2011 by Hot Ptah Quote
JSngry Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Yeah, pay your daughter's tuition and take satisfaction and pride that your creativity paid for her education. Not many people can say that. Quote
TedR Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Another example of not letting the bastards get you down. So glad you applied again.....it looks like the 5th time is the charm! Congratulations. Quote
