Cleveland

Tim at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, remembering

when he used to dance on American Bandstand

My father was born and lived in Cleveland until World War II, so I was anxious to see the city even though we'd been there before. It did not disappoint. We took a trolley tour, including a stop at the Lake View Cemetery's amazing Wade Memorial Chapel, completely decorated in Tiffany glass and tiles. Back at the ship, we walked over to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, where we spent the rest of the day revisiting the music of our youth. Our last major port-of-call.

Trolley tour: taking a nap or reading email?

So happy to see our long-gone but still favorite DJ, the Real Don Steele,

honored as part of exhibit of influential radio personalities

Neil Young's handwritten lyrics to "Needle and the Damage Done"

Pretty good Beatles exhibit, though they, of course, deserve their own museum

Jimi Hendrix guitar

1988, what a great year to be inducted into the Hall:

Beatles, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Supremes, the Drifters,

Lead Belly, Woodie Guthrie, and Les Paul
