Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Flipping channels and seeing Madonna’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was something to see, ever the choreographer and business woman, she certainly is an entertainer. 

I have never been to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but was told by a dear friend, you can spend a decade in there and still not grasp the entire collection.  The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is located in Cleveland, Ohio.  Whether you are planning a move or just a weekend trip you can find a wealth of information at the Cleveland Real Estate Blog 

Ohio is the state with the theme song of “Hang on Sloopy” and many great people that formed our history as we know it.  Neil Armstrong, The Wright Brothers & Charles Goodyear. 

Elvis Presley was inducted into the Rock & Roll  hall of fame in 1986, wow.. that seems like many moons ago. 

Receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award the same year was John Hammond, and I mention him because he was the one who brought Stevie Ray Vaughan’s legendary guitar playing to label in 1983.  What an accomplishment and a great justice for all of us sharing with us Stevie with his Fender guitar called Lenny and Number One.  I personally like the attitude of Ol’ White..

This sketch is one that I did in woodless graphite of Elvis as well as ebony charcoal for the guitar to “pop”.  I am counting the days until I take off to Austin, to walk the streets that carried Vaughan through the hard times, as well as the good times.  I can’t quite think past it, but I certainly have on my radar the Rock & Roll hall of fame, and will be checking out the sites, as well as Cleveland Real Estate, just in case I plan to stay!
