Cleveland Aug 1-9

How can you go to Cleveland and not see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? If you love that kind of music, it's a must see. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation (started in 1983) was considering a small museum in NYC when Cleveland showed up with big financial plans for a formal museum. They won the bid and in 1995 the 150,000 sq. ft. building below (architect I.M. Pei) opened. It is filled with great memorabilia, great videos and, of course, great music. If you get to Cleveland, check it out.
Primary purpose of stopping in Cleveland was to celebrate wedding of my nephew, James and his lovely (now) wife, Alex. Picture of the beautiful bride below.

Wonderful to see so much family and so many friends. Beautiful venues for the events, including the church below. Wonderful detail work on the ceiling and over the altar. Picture doesn't do it justice.


Below, the back deck of the bride's parents' home; kind of reminds you of HH doesn't it? Her mom, Mikee lower right of the picture.


Had a great live band at the reception; they could do Etta James, Chicago, Louis Armstrong, old and new rock. Two videos of some dancing. Enjoy.
