Georgia Music Hall of Fame

Georgia Music Hall of Fame

My wife and I enjoy listening to a variety of music. While passing through Macon to go out for supper, we noticed the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, then we returned on our next time in town.

We parked in a large parking area directly beside this hall of fame. Upon entering, we passed by a reproduction which included an indoor Georgia town where a perpetual music festival is happening. There were life size buildings representing a Rhythm & Blues Revue, Jazz & Swing club, Vintage Vinyl Record Store, Coca-Cola Drugstore, Country Cafe, Backstage Alley, Video Theatre and a Gospel Chapel. Typical music from each was played as you entered each representation. Both of us were excited as we passed from building to building. Inside the buildings we saw memorabilia and artifacts from real locations.

Another area in which we were interested included representations of the famous Georgia musicians of past and present who have made an impact on the music scene. Included in these were Otis Redding, Johnny Mercer, REM, Lena Horne, James Brown, Chet Atkins, Alan Jackson, the Allman Brothers, the Reverend Dr. Thomas A. Dorsey and Little Richard. We listened to some of the music made famous by each of these musicians and were pleased to have found another place to call 'ours'.

My husband is a music buff and the 2 hours we had allotted for the museum stretched to half a day. This museum is jam packed with memorablia, instruments, costumes, photos and interactive music displays. Southern rock, country, blues and gospel are all represented. A music lovers dream. And yes, they do have to stop, put on those headsets, and listen to the tracks. They cannot resist the obsession. :) Cost is about $15 for two.
