U.S. Music Road Trip 2024 - 3rd leg - CLEVELAND

Our next drive was less than 200 miles, leaving Michigan behind for the state of Ohio and the city of Cleveland - home of the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME.

It's a huge operation - 6 floors of music. We spent 5 hours there - and could have done even more:

The first (basement) floor is the biggest and best:

Lots of memorabilia, videos and interactive stuff:

This is what was on the other floors:

On level 2 - if you had any kind of musical skill, no matter how small - you could join in with a live garage band. Jo and I confined ourselves to posing with the guitars:

The soundproof rooms for the drums were fun:

Headphones on and you get a lesson in how to play along - We Will Rock You was as technically challenging as we could muster.

There was a separate section for Women in Rock:

A couple of interesting exhibits of instruments:

John Paul Jones' 8-string bass - never seen one before

Steve Winwood's piano on which he wrote his US no.1 Roll With It

There was a large display devoted to Pink Floyd's The Wall:

Well worth a visit. This was the end of our Musical Road Trip for 2024 but there was still a bit of driving and sightseeing to be done - on to Niagara then Toronto before flying back west to our daughter's in Oregon, from where this post comes.
