Today (6/6/2008) at 5pm Microsoft released its Beta 2 version of Silverlight. We here at vertigo are pleased to announce that the Hard Rock Memorabilia site at http://memorabilia.hardrock.com has been fully updated to take advantage of Beta 2.
As a little Easter egg we added a new Hi-resolution image taken of Tommy Allsup’s wallet: http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/?item=4
“Heads or tails? The 1959 plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper very nearly claimed Buddy's guitarist, Tommy Allsup, as well. Pestered by teenage Richie for his seat on the plane, Tommy agreed to a coin toss. It came up heads – Richie got the seat, and Tommy kept his life. Shortly before the plane took off, Tommy gave his wallet to Buddy and asked him to use his ID to pick up a letter that was awaiting him in the Fargo, ND post office. Buddy agreed. This wallet was recovered from the wreckage. Tommy went on to become a legendary session player with an incredible story about that cold night in 1959. “
Keep watching the Memorabilia site as more items are in the pipeline and will be posted in the near future…..
Cheers,Liam
