Hall of Fame

I feel that there are a lot of musical performers, songwriters, producers – past and present – who do not always get the recognition they deserve. So, I’ve come up with my own “Theme Attic” Hall of Fame. I’ll occasionally add artists and people related to making or supporting music. Let me know what you think!
