A Southern Music Hall of Fame in Jacksonville?

[Rynjny]

Would the Bostwick Building be in the consideration for the location?

[sheclown]

Most definitely need to use a historic building to house this.

I still think the Armory would be ideal.

Main Street Cruise synergy, ample parking, auditorium, room for expansion. 

However, it is the reuse of a historic building into something extremely cool which is important.  It is the celebration of Jacksonville's contribution to music which needs to happen -- to inspire a whole new generation of musicians, and to applaud the lifetime work of geniuses.   It is an identity which is under-appreciated by a city in desperate need of self-respect.

Rock on Jax.

1000 parking spaces do not have to be located at facility. Just need to be convenient to it. Are any of the proposed buildings on the monorail circuit?

Hugh, I wish you success with this. Going forward will be all these options of connectivity and regional outreach. Imagine the Pub Crawl bus outreach for any future concert. Fernandina, Orange Park, St. Augustine, the beaches, the talent and motivation with this forum and it's members will Make It Happen. A street car line will eventually happen.

The cycle lot if you ride your bike. The mold issue can and should be immediately addressed. As for the flood zone. Oh well. Other than that keep sharing your vision. It's exciting!

One of the projects we had considered with Southern Music Hall of Fame was a traveling exhibit using a 42 foot diameter dome that I learned to build with my friend Rob. I studied with the right man to Bucky Fuller. Rob builds the dodecahedron dome which is the strongest dome structure. He just told me he can create a 42 footer that is totally portable and knocks down for $16,000. That would also include he and I delivering it to Jacksonville and teaching a team how to take it up and down. The canvas cover could be done in Jacksonville or we could get it supplied.

I spoke to Simon Malls in Atlanta and they were very interested in having us spend a weekend promoting SMHF when we first considered this. I learned that Jacksonville has 2 Simon malls.

Your local talented creatives could develop a video that could be projected on the wall of the dome along with 8-10 kiosks. Also have a gift shop area.

Our new Southern Music Association could give directionto these creatives.

What is Bostwick Building?

Thanks!

The Millennial Generation probably doesn't know much about the Southern Rock movement but it certainly was based in JACKSONVILLE.

Molly Hatchet "Gator Country"

I've been to Alabama, people ain't a whole lot to see;
Skynyrd says it's a real sweet home but it ain't nothing to me.
Charlie Daniels will tell you the good Lord lives in Tenessee, ha!
But I'm going back to gator country where the wine and the women are free.

Chorus:
There's a gator in the bushes, he's calling my name,
And a saying come on boy, you better make it back home again.
There's many roads I've travelled but they all kind of look the same.
There's a gator in the bushes, Lord, he calling my name.

Old Richard Betts will tell ya Lord he was born a Ramblin' Man.
Well he can ramble back to Georgia but I won't give a damn.
Elvin Bishop out struttin his stuff with little Miss Slick Titty Boom.
But I'm going back to gator country to get me some elbow room.

There's a gator in the bushes he's calling my name.

and saying come on boy, you better make it back home again.
There's many roads I've travelled but they all kinda look the same.
There's a gator in the bushes, Lord, he calling my name. Yep.

There's Marshall Tucker riding a rainbow searching for a pot of gold.
Well they can take the highway, baby, and they can take all they can hold.
The Outlaws down in Tampa town it's a mighty fine place to be.
They got green grass and got high tides and sure looks good to me.

Chorus:
There's a gator in the bushes, he's calling my name.
Saying come on boy, you better make it back home again.
There's so many roads I've travelled but they all kinda look the same.
There's a gator in the bushes , Lord, he's calling my name.

So sad nothing was done with this buikding before it deteriorated so badly.

Hugh

[hughsimpson]

You are so right, Gloria! Gotta love Gator Country even from  a Nole:-)

[hughsimpson]

Just getting my juices going:-)

You need to have a MetroJacksonville sponsored logo contest for Southern Music Hall of Fame.

In this situation it was the owner that let it fall in despair though. Either way, sad situation.
