Pittsburgh has and will continue to be a vibrant foundation for Pennsylvania Music. I seek information on notables past and present who have made a significant contribution and expression in all types of music. As well as broadcasters who advanced that music or became a part of our educational or recreational life.

About Me:
Pennsylvania will soon embark on a massive project to examine and promote the historical and cultural impact created by Pennsylvanian musicians and the influences from radio and TV in the Commonwealth. Music will include comprehensive looks of all forms and genres including sacred, secular and commercial. Spoken word and video/film talents will also be included and acknowledged before and after the first PA radio broadcast near Pittsburgh.
We have begun to raise the funds from individuals, corporations and foundations. Your verbal and financial support is needed and is important for this venture. Contributions can be sent to PMMBH c/o John DeSanto Mid Penn Bank 17 South Second Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101
The new Pennsylvania Museum of Music and Broadcast History (PMMBH) plans are currently a work in progress. Our first “building” is the World Wide Web. www.PMMBH.org Pennsylvanians have and will continue to make World Wide contributions to music and broadcasting innovation. It is my intent, through the guidance of the board, to be inclusive of existing music and broadcast museums through out the Commonwealth. Education will be the focus with the eventual inclusion of interactive exhibits, working television and radio studios, sound stage and a showcase of what Pennsylvanians’ have contributed to the world.
Our plans for the new PMMBH have received strong and enthusiastic support from both private and public sectors. We have begun receiving letters of support from musicians, broadcasters, family members and educators. Our plans are to soon make these letters known, so the growing vision can be shared with our contributors via our web page.
Please review and respond in support of the Pennsylvania Museum of Music & Broadcast History. A blog has been created for this purpose.
We hope you will join our supporters in building an institution that will preserve, present, and examine the records of musicians, composers, and educators created for or expressed through radio and television – records that tell the stories of The Keystone State: America’s cornerstone to history, culture, and people.
