    Well, it's been just a little over a year since we lost our friend and collaborator, author and historian Ron Hall. We miss his daily wry observations on Memphis music, Memphis history as well as his updates on recent collection finds and his snarky takes on the Tigers and the Grizzlies. We want to continue to thank all his fans and friends who keep supporting his books and continue his legacy out to the world. The reason we miss him so much is because going down the road with him on all our projects was so much fun!

    Due to technical difficuties, we are way late on this news. We share the sad news that our collaborator and friend for the past 20+ years--author, historian, and music lover--Ron Hall has passed away peacefully with his family there in March, 2024. Ron was a savant in shining a light on what it meant to grow up in the middle of the post-war pop culture explosion in one of the most influential pop culture, music, and professional wrestling cities in the world. Ron’s three books, two cd compilations, documentary film, and Memphis music calendar solidified him into being one of the craziest chroniclers/fellow fanatic travelers of all that is wacky in Memphis’ creative cauldron of the ‘50s/’60s/’70s/’80s.
    Ron was more than a collaborator. He was a friend and a dogged lover of history who could not sleep until he found the deeply hidden answers to his perpetual inquiries. His work will live long beyond his time on earth. We appreciate him! We thank him for his service! Rock on, Ron Hall! We heartily encourage everyone to play some Breakers in his memory.

    Ron’s body of work includes Playing for a Piece of the Door: A History of Memphis Garage & Frat Bands, 1960-1975 (along with 2 incredible cd compilations!); The Memphis Garage Rock Yearbook; 2006 Memphis Music Calendar; Sputnik, Masked Men, & Midgets: The Early Days of Memphis Wrestling; Memphis Heat: The True Story of Memphis Wrasslin’ (Executive Producer); Memphis Rocks: A Concert History 1955-1985.
