| Thanks J.D. From what I understand this whole business of who gets in is so political......and only the "chosen" ones get in. I agree, a petition might be the best way to start. Unfortunately there are so many radio stations that are pre-programmed (d.j.'s are becoming a thing of the past). I truly would like to see Jim and ML get this award and are able to enjoy it. If I find out anymore on how we can get this going, I'll post it. > I really would like to figure out how we can do this. > Maybe we can enlist the help of radio stations around the > country and start and online petition. > > > I just recently learned of the passing of a friend of > > mine, > > Mike Smith (of the Dave Clark 5); one of the British > > Invasion Bands.
