Hello Everybody :

I was notified today that I, along with several of my dear friends, have
been placed on the Official Ballot for the 2009 Grammy Awards by the
National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences.

It's an honor to be placed on the ballot and I need your help to get
into the Final Top 5 Nominees.

If you are a voting member of the Grammys, I ask for your consideration
in voting for myself and my film, 'Dennis Wilson Forever.' If you know
someone who is a voting member of the Grammys, please forward the
following information along and please ask for their vote.

In addition to myself, my brothers and fellow Beach Boys Dennis Wilson,
Brian Wilson, and David Marks have also been placed on this year's
ballot for their amazing projects.

The Grammy ballots will arrive to all voting members this week and must
be returned to the Academy by November 5, so please pass the word on to
people you know as soon as possible.

Please note : Each category has an Official Three-digit Ballot Entry
Number that Grammy members will need to vote for everyone in each category.

Thanks so much for all your help,

Billy Hinsche
