Tonto and the Renegades

Thanks to all who voted for us and our 2 songs. We will be inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in June. A dream come true for me.

Congratulations, Tom!!! You guys deserve to be there. You're record is certainly worthy of being on any hall of fame list as well!

Thanks Brad, it's good to hear from you. Happy the drums are still kickin'. Those drums were used on our second 45. Both sides of that record are being inducted, as well, and according to the guy who runs the MI Hall of Fame, ours is the very first to have both sides of a 45 inducted at the same time in the history of the Hall. There will be a big Induction Celebration/party/presentations starting off with a Parade on June 23rd. Should be exciting.

the snare and cymbals were used on both singles though, right?

Yes. All I got new was the pearl pieces. From now on, June 23rd in Grand Ledge will be declared as "Tonto and the Renegades Day" by the Mayor at our Induction. Although we are "Officially" Inducted today, the ceremonies aren't taking place until the 23rd here in town.
