Songwriter of the Year Awards

December '95 / March '96

One of these days we'll get around to compiling a list of all the awards Lafave has won over the years. For now, we'll call attention to the most recent, the first for "Songwriter of the Year," the latter for "Best Singer/Songwriter." The first, awarded at a black-tie dinner in December, was from the Kerrville Music Awards.

A few months later, the prestigious Austin Music Awards, sponsored by the Austin Chronicle and the kickoff to SXSX, returned with it's echo.

Both awards are the result of voting by (lots of) ordinary folks across Texas. To whom go our many thanks.

And, by the way, if there's a state that's home to more songwriters than Texas, we'll eat our Zen Okie hats.
