I am asking you kind and krazy G45 members for help again with collecting images and giving me advice for our inductees vignettes/video shown at the induction ceremony.

I thought some of you here might have stuff in your collections that you might like to share with us, particularly Fred "Sonic" Smith and Hasil Adkins.

So happy to have nagged for the entire time I've worked there (3 years), that these two are possibly the most influential WVians (especially to my personal tastes) and more "famous" around the world than many of the previous musicians there.

So if you have good quality scans of cool 45's, photographs, posters, flyers, clippings..... anything would be appreciated. MC5 45's with picture sleeves from around the world would be fantastic.

It is a good strange mix. Frank Hutchison is pretty cool - coal miner blues slide guitar the first white bluesman?

We have Patti Smith and her children coming along with Lenny Kaye.

Miriam Linna, Norton Records is being given the award on behalf of Hasil ...and Billy now.

So, I do have some great help there but G45 came up real good last time, thanks, especially to Bosshoss

You can checkout the full list here and if any of have artifacts by them. That'll be great.

Oh while I remember Ann Magnuson did a spoof Metal band with some of the Fuzztones members- called Vulcan Death Grip. Anyone have something hiding away?
