There's a new African-American music museum underway as we speak in Nashville, if you are going that way by then. Covering blues, gospel, soul and jazz nationally but also within Nashville itself. I'm in discussions with the director / curator given the stuff I did on Nashville R&B recently. Still being built, it opens in a year or two I think.

Another couple of book promo opportunities for "House of Broken Hearts", taken in Nashville : Photo 1 from left: Ed Salamon (radio executive), Peggy Gaines, Michael Gray (Editor, Country Music hall of Fame and Museum, Nashville), and Mac Gayden (legendary singer / songwriter, and writer of "Everlasting Love" by Robert Knight / Love affair and Herbert Hunter's "I was born to love you", and Valentines on SS7) Photo 2 from left: Jimmy Church, Michael Gray and Frank Howard (of Frank Howard and the Commanders)

The King Casuals were Nashville based (though did have Atlanta based recordings for Peachtree). Certainly no Toledo connection as far as I am aware.
