Phil Carson who signed Twisted Sister to Atlantic Records, who then inducted the boys into the hall and finally I introduced New Orleans native and Long Island brethren Randy Jackson of Zebra who inducted composer Gershwin. I enjoyed getting a rise from the audience as I updated the Mets game throughout the night. Hanging with the likes of Billy Joel, Twisted Sister, Peter Criss of Kiss, Zebra, Joan Jett, Vanilla Fudge, Mountain, is something I have been doing for years but to be with them all at the same time was mind-blowing. After 30 some odd years in the music industry it was no surprise how many people I knew on and off the stage. Every turn there was a handshake a high-five or a hug and lots of catching up. The food was great the set up was great and the hard work of all involved really paid off by bringing the dream of a Long Island Music Hall of Fame to the public’s attention. Outside of being a tremendously long night the evening was a well rounded success. Now I know your saying “ok Fingers how are you gonna thread motorcycles into this?” Easy the events Platinum sponsor was Lighthouse Harley-Davidson and one of the new Billy Joel 20th Century Cycles, a joint venture between the dealer and the singer was on display as you entered the beautiful Patchogue theater.
