Smith, Mayor Director of Port Control 1 The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum presents: “Live from Cleveland, Ohio” Featuring rock photographer Janet Macoska ock and roll is part of Cleveland’s iden ty. In the early 1950’s, disc jockey Alan Freed and record shop owner Leo Mintz Rmainstreamed the term “rock and roll” to describe the sound and energy of this music. The fi rst rock and roll concert, “The Moondog Corona on Ball” was held here in 1952. Throughout the years, Cleveland has con nued to be a music hub. Along Lake Erie, stands The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Every year, nearly a half-million visitors experience this preeminent Museum dedicated to the preserva on, celebra on and explora on of rock and roll. This exhibit captures the rock scene in Cleveland of the 70s and 80s, through to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame events of today. 2 Janet Macoska leveland na ve Janet Macoska grew up with a love for rock and roll and photography. As early as age 12, she combined both, photographing C rock duo Sonny and Cher at local radio sta on WKYC. That photo became her fi rst published photo in a 1967 issue of TEEN SCREEN magazine. If rock and roll has been the soundtrack of your life, photojournalist Janet Macoska has provided many of the visuals.
