I posted a tidbit about the proposed Asheville Music Hall of Fame a week or two ago, and it has apparently caught the attention of some folks, including the guy who is trying to get something together.

Here’s the note from Dallas Taylor:

Wow,
Never know what you’ll find on a Google search. Well, first thanks. I’ve only been met with positive resistance to this idea that was to encourage me to get my act together. It’s official as far as a business/non-profit goes and the goal will be to provide resources to local musicians including but not limited to a program similar to the http://www.healthallianceforaustinmusicians.org model where they had an impact study of the local musicians on the economy and it determined they bring billions of dollars in every year. There’s no such study that has been done that’s publicly accessible.
They’re usually sponsored by the hosting city for other Hall’s of Fame because it does ultimately stimulate the economy, I think our city will eventually come to their senses and help me out. In the meantime I’ll continue my campaign of shameless promotion. Please visit the myspace page with audio from my radio interview on 105.9fm The Mountain by Bad Ash.

Sounds like a neat idea to me.
