IS there any chance of finding Video footage?? I would kill to see his speech!
It will be broadcast on FUSE TV on Sunday. I imagine net footage will show up after that. Go to the FUSE TV site for more info.

I want to watch the video! I missed it last night. Is it anywhere online? Or a transcript of his speech? I wanna see the songs!
Here is the speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmI3EC1ElOc
So when is he going to be inducted into the jazz or blues halls of fame?
I bow to your superiour youtube skills. I couldn't find this stuff last night.
My wife couldn't stop laughing..."This has been very encouraging," this said after he basically said the award was as useless as the key to the city of El Paso. Not sure why Tom even showed up, lots of musicians just don't show...glad he did though, live footage of the man is priceless.
