This year’s inductees are: Kevin Schramm, accordion (one of the original Mollys); Laszlo Veres, symphony conductor (most recently the Tucson Pops); Lew Lepley, jazz piano; Neil Harry, pedal steel guitar (Chuck Wagon and the Wheels); Joe Martinez, guitar; John Markovich, bass (“the equipment doctor”); Tom Ervin (trombone); Michael Montiel, drums; Rochelle Magee, vocals (with the Gospel Choir) and Larry Diehl, bass.
“We have to celebrate their stories before it is too late,” added French. Right now the museum is a virtual one, with all the inductees’ photos and biographies online at The dream is for an actual museum with static displays and listening stations for each of the musicians so people can hear their music as well as enjoy memorabilia of the period.
