I went yesterday & thoroughly enjoyed it.

I loved looking at the clothes that various artists had actually worn: a shirt & jacket of Muddy Waters, several stage outfits of David Bowie, a black suit (down to the shoes!) that Johnny Cash had worn . . . and gazoodles more!

One of the most awesome things (one of a few that literally gave me chills) was a piano that had belonged to John Lennon. He sat at that keyboard composing (Apparently he composed much of the Double Fantasy album there.), and wax from candles that were burning as he sat there & played & sang with friends remained on the box. Wow.

I was also struck by how beautiful Jimi Hendrix’s handwriting was (odd, i know): the museum has quite a few pages of his compositional jottings.

And the opportunity to just listen to the groundbreaking music! There is a listening station with the 500 (i think) most significant songs in R & R history. I think the museum was wise not to put chairs in that area: i, for one, could have stayed all day in just that section, had my body not gotten tired of standing in one place.

Amazing!
