In my continuing quest to avoid returning to life in a box, I continue to photograph my various memorabilia in hopes to put it on display out there somewhere. I have planned a trip to the one and only Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. The idea is to examine what's on display and how it's displayed (ie. casing, framing, etc.). I've got so many cool little items and think it would be beneficial to see how the pros do it. With a no photograph policy at the hall, I will be reduced to Rock and Roll nerd status, pen and notebook in hand. I dunno... maybe I can take a hand held cassette recorder and take verbal notes, looking like the ultra-hip retro music reporter. I'll be out there a week so I can also enjoy the museum as well and not make it an entire research mission. I'll post more here and there as the trip nears, with a report on return as well. I have yet to see the 2012 induction, despite HBO's best efforts for viewing opportunities. It's on the DVR, awaiting viewing and editing. It'll be surreal watching the Beastie Boys induction, with the passing of Adam Yauch. Admittedly, I've really only been a BB fan within the last handful of years. I've had a CD or 2 for a while but those eventually led to me exploring more and more. It's been tough lately with alla these passings. Losing Duck Dunn really hurts too. More to come...
