 ) And, yes, I am just as much a dork as I look, but my Mama still loves me, bless her heart... From Phil's initial suggestion, to J.R.'s permission and support, to those who contributed or lied and said nice things about me, to the many friends here I have yet to meet - you guys have turned my name into something of a celebrity's, at least in this little corner of the universe called the AGF. Trust me, the real cotten is a very ordinary guy, with the exact same joys, frustrations and challenges we all face. I do genuinely appreciate each of you, but I will happily revert now to being more of housekeeper than a star, with two differences: this housekeeper now has indelible, incredible memories and a fabulous new guitar! cotten Last edited by cotten; 08-14-2011 at 11:24 PM.

And lets not forget that we were/are also celebrating the AGF's 10 year anniversary (last September) and the great guitar "fellowship" we share.
So, it was cool that the idea struck me one day last summer, and that JR agreed and supported the project, and that many AGFrs joined in making comments on the award thread, and also gave donations large and small, and that we were and are celebrating the special atypical internet forum congeniality we all enjoy on the AGF... and that we were able to focus our thanks on John who has materially contributed to that congenial atmosphere. I think there's plenty of attaboys and attagirls to go around!! Give yourselves a round of applause!!
