The famous cowbell that BluzKat auctioned off to benefit the NOMRF has been officially donated to the Alabama Music Hall of Fame!
The winner of the bell requested that it be displayed in a manner that will help give recognition to the people that are contributing to the on going efforts to help bring the music back to New Orleans. In turn, the New Orleans Musicians Relief Fund asked BluzKat to find a place in Taylor's home state for the bell to be displayed in Taylor's honor.
I contacted the Director of the AMHOF and he was excited to except the bell to be displayed in an exhibit dedicated to Taylor. The exhibit will be unveiled in April or May of 2008. Announcement will be made as soon as the date is confirmed.
NOMRF, Ms. Joni Hicks and Whompin Pawz/BluzKat all extend our heartfelt thanks to the Soul Patrol who help to support Taylor's charities to the on going efforts in helping to bring the music back to New Orleans which we all know has a huge impact on Taylor and his music.
A special plaque will also be displayed with the bell with Taylor's name and all involved in this effort.
Thank you Soul Patrol for your wonderful support.
The loving staff at BluzKat
