      Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2011 Induction Ceremony – New York, NY – Waldorf Astoria – 3/14/2011 (Blog)

         Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2011 Induction Ceremony Written by Josh Jackson

        For the second year in a row I was invited to work as the script supervisor for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions and of course, I obliged. I always love hearing my friends tell me to make sure to tell someone to induct __________ (insert favorite rock group) into the Hall. (Usually KISS or RUSH) I’m not sure exactly how the nominations go about, and while I have my own feelings about some of the great groups that have been left out (Eagles, Heart, Journey & oh so many more), I was fairly satisfied with this years group of inductees.

            Concert Blast - Tom Thompson, Mike Arnold, Brian Hasbrook

            Written by Mike Arnold
            The concert touring season seems to run from the middle of March through the begining of December.  While we wait for the artists to hit the road or the Festivals to crank up the music for the large crowds, I decided this would be a great time to re-post our most popular Music Discussion Podcast – Time Songs from October of 2007.  

            Brian Hasbrook brought the idea to Tom Thompson and me, so we individually collected songs from our memory bank and our research then came together to record our podcast to discuss the songs we found and to remember stories of the artists of the songs.

                A Salute To Black Artists - Black History MonthWritten by Mike Arnold
                Every year during the month of February, our country celebrates Black History Month. I have thought about all the black artists that has touched our musical lives and realized black artists have been a major part of creating rock and roll. Brian Hasbrook, Tom Thompson, James Downing and I decided to celebrate Black History Month by creating a Music Discussion audio podcast of some of our favorite black artists.
