wv music hall of fame exhibit

The first opportunity for the traveling exhibit of the wv music hall of fame came to Parkersburg yesterday- to the art center downtown. There are some fun displays- Jimmy Dickens flashy (tiny) little suit and boots; some kooky 60's psychedelic bands record covers and concert promotion flyers. Some of the good ol' roots Appalachian music memorabilia. I didn't take advantage of the listening station- it would be worth a trip back for- I didn't want to disrupt the discussions and milling around that was going on. There were three live performances, Todd Burge (with Michael Lipton accompanying), and a guy, I think his name was Andy parks, and then the Bare Bones (the trio acapella group)- nice little tasteful music sampler. This seemed like a very good start off to the exhibit.
