Danny, I forsee a "Raspberries Flu" about to hit you next Friday which will cause you to miss work on Saturday, and the only cure is to attend the event at the Hard Rock Cafe!

darlene Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 VeERY happy news to know the boys will be at the HOF together. I'm going with my advanced students to Elementary Honors Orchestra that day because directors of students who were accepted into the group must work at the event. I couldn't not be there with my students, but my heart will very much be with the guys at the HOF. Congratulations on this awesome appearance. I hope this is a concert, but if it doesn't involve one, I know there will be one in the near future. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Sutton Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Mercedes-Benz Dealers of Northeast Ohio Welcome the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Celebrating the return of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to Cleveland for the first time since 1997, the Northeast Ohio Mercedes-Benz Dealers will debut the all-new 2010 E-Class at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum, kicking off the 2009 Induction weekend with an exclusive VIP pre-party on Friday, April 3rd. The Induction weekend will be the first public showing of the new E-Class in the Ohio market, with both the new 2010 E-Class Coupe and Sedan scheduled for display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum throughout the weekend festivities. The 2010 E-Class will be available at Mercedes-Benz dealerships summer 2009. The special E-Class preview is one part of a successful partnership between the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Northeast Ohio Mercedes-Benz Dealers, who are proud sponsors of the 2009 Induction Ceremony. The Northeast Ohio Mercedes-Benz Dealers are exclusively presenting the private VIP pre-party on April 3rd at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum, in recognition of top Induction donors and sponsors. The evening will feature special musical performances by The Raspberries and Reggie Calloway of Midnight Star. Guests attending the event will have the chance to enter-to-win a limited-edition custom designed Mercedes-Benz Gibson guitar. The new E-Class is a fitting match for this year's class of inductees, which represent a range spanning from classic artists who began their careers in the 50's and 60's to those that have defined the modern sound of rock and roll. Artists are eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twenty-five years after their first recording is released. This commitment to craft, demonstrated by the rigorous time requirements for inductees, is shared by Mercedes-Benz and is embodied in the new E-Class. Since the 'E's' introduction in 1947 with the 170 V model, Mercedes-Benz has produced more than ten million sedans belonging to this series. The ninth-generation E-Class Coupe and Sedan builds on the success of these previous models with innovations such as Attention Assist drowsiness detection and a distinctive new design that features a stylish interplay between taut lines and large concave and convex surfaces. While the car has modern styling cues, aficionados might recognize design cues reminiscent of the famous "Ponton Mercedes" of the 50's. The E-Class line will go on sale in the U.S. initially with the E350 and E550 Coupes in June 2009, followed shortly by their sedan counterparts in July. About the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is the nonprofit organization that exists to educate visitors, fans and scholars from around the world about the history and continuing significance of rock and roll music. It carries out this mission both through its operation of a world-class museum that collects, preserves, exhibits and interprets this art form and through its library and archives as well as its educational programs. The Museum is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. On Wednesdays, the Museum is open until 9 p.m. Museum admission is $22 for adults, $17 for seniors (65+), $13 for youth (9-12), $18 for adult residents of Greater Cleveland. Children under 8 and Museum members are free. The Museum is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture. When you become a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, the world of rock and roll becomes yours to explore. About Mercedes-Benz USA and the Northeast Ohio Mercedes-Benz Dealers Mercedes-Benz USA, headquartered in Montvale, New Jersey, is responsible for the sales, marketing and service of all Mercedes-Benz and Maybach products in the United States.

seattlesteve Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Cool stuff Ron.. doesn't suck for a band to be associated with a high quality, classy, timeless auto maker, and guitar.Eric's head must be swimming... if you and I would have asked EC at his solo HOF show several years ago, do you think he would have predicted this? Funny thing is the fans gave it more of a chance than he did.. as Thin Lizzy once said about tonight.. the boys are back in town. I suspect tonight has the potential to knock Eric's Carnegie Hall memory out of first place, for the Raspberries best moment ever.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
