Ralph's Anniversary

Today is a difficult day for the many people who knew and loved Ralph Ortiz. One year ago today, he left this world to go and teach the Angels how to be funky.

We have lost many of Rochester's musicians over the past few years. That's one of the many reasons why creating the Rochester Music Hall of Fame is so very important - to honor those musicians who have passed on, so that they and their contributions to the Rochester music scene may never be forgotten. Another reason for the creation of RMHF is to honor those who are still here making music in Rochester as well as those from Rochester who have gone on to make music all over the country and all over the world.

Rochester has been blessed with an abundance of wonderfully talented musicians. Let's honor and celebrate them.

yours in music,
Tracy
