Congrats To This Year's NC Music HOF Inductees

 Congrats to Arrogance, MC Sha Rock, Sugar Bear, and the families of Billy Strayhorn and Barry Poss on their induction into the NC Music Hall Of Fame. I look forward to seeing them, and lifetime achievement award winner George Clinton at the induction ceremony in October.

And yes, there are many more people that are deserving of being honored by the NCMHOF. Continue to advocate respectfully for your artist, and spread the word. The push for next year's round of inductees begins now.

Thank you all, and see you on the road.

My Current State

 That feeling that you have when you're still recovering from last night's NC Music Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, where I photographed the Briarhoppers, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Jermaine Dupri, and Moog family, the Tony Rice family, one of Martin Luther King Jr's daughters, and many more, and you check your social media and discover that the Avett Brothers just used of your photos for the New Year's Eve poster.

I should do something sometime with all of these photos I have of this band through the years. That would be nice. Hmmmm....
