This is it, the industry enchilada, where drinks flow, opinions fly and the rankings of Who's Who In The Business gets shuffled before your very eyes. CMW's annual awards and bun-toss is an unparalleled social outlet where the best in the industry get what's coming to them in front of their VIP peers. Join host Leslie Nielsen for an evening of great entertainment as we pay tribute to Rock and Roll legend Rompin' Ronnie Hawkins, TV innovator Moses Znaimer and Justin Time Records founder Jim West. Featuring special performances by Jimmy Bowskill, Lighthouse, and The Hawks.

He's been called a legend. To his early fans, he was Mr. Dynamo. To Bob Dylan, he was "my idol." to John Lennon, he was "Sir Ronnie." To himself, he's "Rompin' Ronnie", the Geritol Gypsy. To all of us who know him and love him, he is simply "The Hawk."

Out of Quebec hails Distribution Fusion III/Justin Time's Jim West - record label and distribution founder, producer, jazz connoisseur (he discovered Diana Krall), chairman of both CIRPA and FACTOR...a passionate indie savant for close to three decades.

A renowned maverick of the broadcast industry for over 30 years, Moses Znaimer is the co-founder, former President and Executive Producer of many Canadian television entities - most notably Citytv, MuchMusic, and Bravo!. Currently, Znaimer provides advisory services to CHUM Ltd. and assists with the companyís international business development in addition to continuing his personal projects that include the ideaCity Conference and the MZTV Museum of Television.

Join us as we induct Ronnie Hawkins, Jim West and Moses Znaimer into the CMW Hall of Fame at the CMW Music Industry Awards Gala, Thursday, March 4, 2004 featuring a live musical all-star tribute.
