Ewing Predicts It

The Elusive VADER TROPHY

Depp!

 Here is what I know.  Here is what I say.
 
  8-Bob Seger over 11-Nora Jones.  My hat goes off to Nora Jones.  She is 12-0 the last two years.  Seger will have to earn it, and, hey lets not having any fighting up front here.  Seger will sweat his ass off, but he will bring down NJones.

4-Jeff Healey over 3-Radiohead.  I am not cocky at all about this.  I have seen Radiohead beat The F.Lips.  I have seen them beat Nick Lowe.  I saw most of their win over Lucinda Williams.  They have my respect.  Jeff Healey has really come on.  I didn't think he could beat ole Waylan Jennings, but he just outplayed that damn drunkard.  This game will be great.  Healey wins by an eye.  A good eye.

Um yeah, but Who will win the Dark Vader Trophy, Mark?
 Vader Trophy goes to Jeff Healey!  Whoever plays Healey, be he Seger or Nora....the game will not be close.  Healey will expose the weaknesses and slam home some dunkers.

If/when Healey wins it, Mark Ewing has chosen:  "Cover to Cover", an album of covers songs...since Jeff Healey isn't known for his lyric writing, he does excel at doing other people's songs with a fantastic touch that makes it his own. 
 And if Seger somehow gets the Vader, Ewing will wait until this fall to scoop up his as-of-now untitled CD.
