I did not know that, but this is really neat.  I don't really watch the Grammy's, but I have certainly heard of it, haha.

That's interesting about the Grammies.  And your description of the town of Ridgway makes it sound like a wonderful place to visit.  Your mountains are very different from our North Carolina mountains!

Debbie,  Who knew?  Not me.  What a fun post and a little history. So, I have to ask. Is the metal called Grammium because they are Grammy awards?

Hi Debbie - That's really cool. I've been to Ridgway, but must not have noticed the sign, or much else for that matter, as I had no idea.

Good morning Debbie Laity ,

I just caught this post when Debbie Reynolds reblogged. How fascinating! I had no clue where the trophies were made and that it took 15 hours for each one!! I never knew there was a "Grammy man!". Thanks for sharing really interesting stuff!!

This was fascinating! I had no idea, and actually never really thought much about this. I suppose part of that is that I don't watch these shows. Thanks for the history and entertainment industry lesson!
