Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame Celebrates 20 Years!
Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame Celebrates 20 Years!
In May of 2003 I had returned from a trip to Atlanta where I had visited the Georgia Music Hall of Fame (now sadly gone), and It inspired me to try and discover the music history of Long Island. What I found astounded me! The wealth of music and history that was contained on Long Island was nothing less than staggering! At the time I was the publisher of “Long Island Entertainment” a free newspaper on the Long Island Music and Entertainment scene and in my monthly column I wrote an article about the need for Long Island to have it’s own Hall of Fame to Celebrate and preserve this history. From that Article I was approached by Norm Prusslin (Head of the Communication and Theater Arts department of SUNY University Stony Brook) where he offered space (as well as cookies and coffee) to hold meetings to help establish the organization. The meetings eventually moved to my living room in Smithtown NY and with a passionate board of directors we had within a year our 501(c)3 non for profit status and we were incorporated under the NY board of Education. From those humble beginnings we were able to create our first induction ceremony two years late with over 50 Inductees!!

Since that time The Long Island Music Hall of Fame has moved beyond my wildest dreams and is now 20 years old! Congratulations to the Board and all that worked so hard to make this dream a reality!

The influence of AI on the music industry is multifaceted and continually progressing, opening up a realm of unlimited possibilities for the future.

The Bottom line is the fact that AI is here! It will continue to advance and affect our lives in ways we can only imagine right now.

The Truth about Spotify
The Truth about Spotify
There is no argument that consumer has embraced streaming as a way to consume music! For the consumer this is a no brainer, you don’t have to store you music on a shelf, you don’t have to fill up your phone’s memory with mp3’s and for a small monthly fee of $10-$15 a month you can have access to almost everything that has been recorded in the last 125 years. As a result the consumer no longer looks at recorded music as a product to purchase anymore. They don’t have to store it on a shelf or clog up the memory on their phone storing mp3’s. The convenience and vast scope of music that is available through this format for the consumer makes it almost impossible to return to the days where recorded music was something to own.
