(Long Island, NY, October 12, 2007) -- The Long Island Music Hall of Fame today announced the postponement of its second annual Hall of Fame Induction and Celebration Gala. The event was to have taken place Sunday, October 21st at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts at Queens College.

According to LIMHOF Chairman Richard L'Hommedieu, "Due to last minute scheduling conflicts, many of the artists due to be inducted on Oct. 21st, have told us within the last few days that unfortunately they are unable to attend. LIMHOF's inaugural induction last year was a smash, and this year we made every effort to equal that success. We are deeply committed to the artist inductees, their fans, and our sponsors, to present the most entertaining and educational program possible. Anything less than that does everyone a disservice."

Mr. L'Hommedieu added: "Unfortunately, artist conflicts affected the show – and ticket sales could not support the event. As a 501 C3 organization, we have a fiduciary responsibility to the LI Music Hall of Fame to conserve our resources, in order to further our educational programs and our future museum. This short-term postponement will allow us to continue in our mission."

"Therefore, we made the difficult decision to postpone this year's event and to reschedule it at a time when we can present a more complete lineup of inductees and to offer them, other performing artists, and the public, an outstanding event at which they can be fully recognized and honored. We thank all the inductee artists, talent presenters, fans, and sponsors for their continued support, and look forward to presenting the awards to them at an event to be announced in the near future."

The 2007 list of Inductees are: Simon and Garfunkel, Blue Oyster Cult , LL Cool J, Carole King, Arlo Guthrie, Public Enemy, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Aaron Copland, The Good Rats, The Ramones, Jean Ritchie, Kenny Vance, The Tokens, Guy Lombardo, Mariah Carey, Neil Diamond, Bob Buchmann, Eddie Money, Beverly Sills, Walter Becker, Pat Benatar, Barbra Streisand and Marvin Hamlisch.
