The Fabulous Silver Tones have been elected to be inducted to the Kansas Music Hall Of Fame on January 13th, 2007. We will be cheering for them at Liberty Hall in Lawrence come the second week of January. They Certainly Deserve It....They Are Fabulous..... It is my understanding at this time that Frank Plas, (who has, along with Little Joe Sherrick, formed The New Silver Tones and is currently playing around KC), will be perfoming at the induction ceremony along with Rich Stoy (bass). Mike Weakley (drums) has said he will come back from San Diego to participate and we are all hoping he can make it. Roger Calkins, who has lost his sight now, lives in San Fransisco, and is somewhat incapacitated and it is doubtful that he will travel back for the ceremony, though I know he will be there both in heart and in spirit. What a wonderful group of musicians these four are - - they have inspired many - and entertained even more. This is indeed a fabulous tribute to them. Nothing more to say, but "OH, HAPPY DAY ! !"
