In November, the West Virginia Humanities Council awarded the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame a grant to produce a framed, traveling exhibit titled “The Art of West Virginia Music” that will showcase a fascinating collection of LPs, 78s, 45s, posters and photos from a variety of West Virginia musicians. The items range from a signed Little Jimmy Dickens song folio from the ’50s and 8-tracks by Charlie McCoy to a collection of EPs by Kitty Wells and rare 45s by Hasil Adkins and Charleston-born composer/musician Robert Drasnin. Approximately 40 pieces will be framed and displayed in shadow boxes, and will travel throughout the state beginning in the fall of 2007. Any facilities interested in hosting the exhibit should contact Becky Bolte at the WV Music Hall of Fame (304/342-4412; rmbolte@yahoo.com).
