[All Change is Good]

According to the Snooze and I quote,

"Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan

A country duo known for the crossover pop hit "Tennessee Bird Walk," Blanchard and Morgan received the 1970 Billboard Magazine award for Country Duet of the Year. Since then, the two have been made lifetime members of the Country Music Association.

Ray Evans

His name might not ring a bell, but many of the songs he's written surely will. These include "Mona Lisa," "Silver Bells," "Que Sera Sera" and "Buttons & Bows." Evans and writing partner Jay Livingston took top Grammy honors three times in the Best Song category.

Jo Ann Falletta

Falletta has been credited for her work in building the national profile of the BPO since taking over as music director in 1999. The JoAnn Falletta International Guitar Concerto Competition alone has centered the classical music spotlight on the Buffalo region since its inception.

Jessie Galante

Galante has long been heralded as the "First Lady" of Buffalo rock. She hasn't slowed down a bit since fronting the Western New York band Actor back in the day. Her latest disc, "Spitfire," has garnered both national and international acclaim.

Kathy Lynn & the Playboys

The rich tradition of 1960s rock, pop and R&B in Buffalo has never really received its full due. As the first non-African-American act to be signed to Berry Gordy's legendary Motown label, Kathy Lynn & the Playboys scored regional and national hits between 1964 and '66, among them the scorching rockabilly instrumental "Rock City."

Eddie Tice

A veteran concert promoter, Tice worked with Festival East Concerts and Harvey Corky & Tice Productions throughout the 1970s and '80s, presenting major bills in the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium and Rich Stadium, as well as countless now-legendary club shows in the region.

Mark Winsick

A fully tenured Buffalo bluesman, Winsick is one of the region's most celebrated blues guitarists, songwriters and performers."
