The House of Blues radio archives, a trove of music and interviews featuring Dan Aykroyd in his Elwood Blues persona, found a permanent home earlier this summer and is now preserved for future generations at the Library of Congress. A grant from Rex helped make it happen! Rex Board Member Rosalie Howarth said: “The life stories of these legendary musicians provide a rich vein of American history to be mined by future writers and historians. The general public will be able to put on headphones and hear these legends share their experiences in their own distinctive voices. Those of us in the music biz know that blues musicians were among the most ruthlessly exploited artists in our history. Though this will not make them whole financially, it will allow their stories to be heard for generations to come. Perhaps their stories of survival and resilience will inform and inspire future songwriters, musicians, and historians.” Read all about it... https://lnkd.in/gux-DTKP
