2007 HALL OF FAME SHOW SHAPING UP
So far The Silver Tones and the Topeka version of The Rising Suns have confirmed that they will be playing at the January 13, 2007 Induction Ceremony at Lawrence's Liberty Hall. Jim Stringer has indicated that he needs to get out of a recording session that weekend for Tide to make it. We're still talking with Marilyn Maye and Martina McBride about possible appearances. So far we haven't heard from Dawayne Bailey, The Blue Riddim Band, The Common Few or the Coffeyville version of The Rising Suns, but we're hoping they can all make it. Many musicians are planning to participate in the Friday night jam at the Holiday Inn/Holidome. If you can pick, sing or play, we hope you'll join in, too.
Speaking of the Holiday Inn/Holidome, a special room rate of $55 plus tax per night has been set up for those attending the ceremony. Reservations can be made by calling 785-841-7077.

Induction Ceremony January 13, 2007
Here's the lineup so far: Dawayne Bailey, The Common Few, both versions of The Rising Suns, The Silver Tones and Tide. The Blue Riddim Band and Marilyn Maye are still possibilities, and Martina McBride may still make it, but not perform. Ticket information will be finalized Monday or Tuesday, and they will go on sale in a week. There will be no reserved seating this year except for 2007 inductees and their guests. All other seats will be general admission.
Friday evening, January 12, there will be a free acoustic jam at Paddy O'Quigley's in the Lawrence Holiday Inn/Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive. Dennis Fox Higgins will be in charge, and will have details for us as we get closer to the event. If you're planning to attend, don't forget your instrument.
A special rate of $55 at the Holiday Inn/Holidome has been arranged for the nights of January 12-13. Reservations can be made by calling 785-841-7077 and asking for the Hall of Fame rate.
Merchandise available at the show Saturday night will include 2005, 2006 & 2007 Hall of Fame t-shirts, 2005 & 2006 Hall of Fame DVDs, and other items from past and present inductees. Any past inductees who can't attend, but want to sell items, please email kansmusic@aol.com to make arrangements. We are not set up to take credit cards at the show, so bring lots of cash. There is an ATM nearby.
