11/10/2011- Super night at the Dinosaur Bar B Que. Sammys Hall of Fame Ceremony MC's were my longtime friends the Dean Brothers ( John, Bob & Peter Dean along with Holly Gregg). I had the great honor of inducting into the SAMMY's Hall of Fame my good friend- David "Rock" Feinstein. Feinstein signed with Niji Entertainment (formed by Wendy & Ronnie James Dio) as a solo artist and member of The Rods .
Niji has just released a cd of material (Nov 2011) by Dio & Feinstein with their early band "The Elves". The cd is titled "And Before Elf, There Were Elves." Also released by Niji - on Vinyl Record Store Day (Dec 8) a 12 inch heavy vinyl picture disc of "Rock" & Ronnie's first "ELF" album. Note this special picture disc is very limited, there were 2,500 made.and they are numbered.
Also inducted into the Hall of Fame that evening were- Dave Porter and 805 (by Mike Donohue), Rick Gary (by "Big"Mike Fiss), Marsha Hagan (by Ava Andrews) and Joe Riposo (by Jim Spadafore). The SAMMY's "Lifetime Achievement Award" was presented to the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra by Syracuse New Times publisher William Brod.
