Good answer Charlene. I of course didn't know about how to go getting one even nominated. But to me, having written a song like, "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald," Im sure is as good as what Big Bird and Donald Duck contributed, to the states.
I guess it's who you know, in the buisness.
But I also agree with Winter's Claw and yourself, that our hero, probably doesn't give a hoot about a Star in Hollywood...
Good luck with your Canadian Stamp, Charlene, that is also a great idea.
