“It is probably the thing that all of the people involved, from the Board of Directors to the personnel that we have to all of our volunteers, this is the part that we all live for because we get to witness these reactions that people have that are so heartfelt about what it means to be inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Music Association Hall of Fame. I’m excited, I’m always excited for all the people and all of the recognition that comes that’s, in most cases, long overdue, for their contributions to making this world a better place.”
