 Kerry Livgren's band Proto-Kaw was also being inducted this evening. Here I get my standard reference pic so I know how much longer to grow the my mustache. :-) |
 Kerry Livgren, who would later this evening be inducted into KMHoF for the FIFTH time) shares tips with Jen Falley on accepting. Jen and a couple of the Jam4Dan Trustees would accept Dan, and sadly we never got a pic of that acceptance. :-( |
