I just got back at 3:30 this morning from The Josie Music Awards in Pigeon Forge, Tenessee. The Little Wretches received the award as Multi-Genre Group of the Year.

"From Pittsburgh, it's Robert Wagner from Little Wretches back with a new live acoustic release album "Live at the Mattress Factory-Songs From the Land of Pit Bulls and Poker Machines" and how he came up with the name plus he performs live from the release!"
Mike Wagner, no relation to me (Robert), is an enthusiastic and encouraging person. Yes, he mispronounces "CALLIOPE" (he says cal--ee-o-pee with an accent on the O), but it is obvious that Mike…
