Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex Opens in New York With Debbie Harry Bash
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex in New York’s Soho opened its doors last night with a bang: Visitors took an audio tour of the museum with a little help from wireless headphones before retreating upstairs to a huge loft party. Rolling Stone’s Jann S. Wenner gave the opening remarks, and Dave Mason performed the Traffic hit “Feelin Alright.” Debbie Harry, in a black beret, belted out “Call Me” and a border-line acoustic version of “Heart of Glass.” After making their way down the red carpet, guests such as Jimmy Destri, Les Paul and Run DMC’s Darryl McDaniels took turns signing a huge make-shift plywood wall.
