WES BRYAN ON THE COVER OF THE AKRON BEACON JOURNAL'S ROTO MAGAZINE 1957
Local Akron, Ohio photographers and journalists and DJ's, as well as Southern Boys like Jimmy Bowen, Buddy Knox, and even Elvis Presley, were influential in my career - and this 1957 cover was my lucky break. It makes me wonder about the role of Fate in a life.Friday, August 2, 2013

The Byrds were predicted to give the Beatles a real run for the charts. I remember talking to Elmer Bernstein and Bob Dylan about the Byrds one night on the Sunset Strip. Elmer was really excited about them. "They're better than the Beatles ! he cried out, as one of their songs was broadcast on the radio.
Bob just smiled. He had placed songs with them and was already recieving money on their recordings of his songs, which were hits for them. Look at that line up though. Every name on that list was a unique talent if not creative genius and they all went on to write winning songs and make music with other groups after the Byrds.

(457) THE VOCAL HALL OF FAME : A NEW ONE FOR US!
THE VOCAL HALL OF FAME link here!
At this point we pride ourselves on our extensive links and we thought we knew about a lot of HALLS OF FAME, virtual or museum-like, but exploring harmony and some of the great groups of the mid 1960's that were recording great songs with great lyrics and using harmony, we came across the VOCAL HALL OF FAME! It's a real museum in Sharon, Pennsylvania and their site, which we hope you will check out, has a calander of events in music history, information on the Doo Wop groups, and so much else, we're really impressed and know our readers will be too!
