Georgia Music Hall to shut down June 12

2011-05-27T07:11:00.001-04:00

From the Albany Herald:

"The Georgia Music Hall of Fame state-appointed authority voted 4-3 Tuesday to shut down the museum, which has interpreted the stories of Georgia greats including Otis Redding, James Brown, the Allman Brothers Band and Little Richard since 1996. The facility has never drawn well in Macon and has appeared on life support in recent years as state funding waned."
