Ira Allen 45 “Nursery Rock” sells for $985.45!

Oh my gosh! Buddy Mize called & told Ira to go to E-Bay – that one of his 45′s was being bid on and was up to $685.55 with more hours to bid. It apparently is from an estate sale. It is soooo exciting. It tells that “Ira is listed in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame for his self-penned song “Nursery Rock” in 1958″ on Mav-Rick label, produced by Dusty Rhodes. The bidding started at $5.00 . We want to say thanks to the fans who are bidding it and for keeping his music alive!!!!!! See a couple of the postings of bids & record on Ira’s photos. There were 24 bids in all. The FINAL BID was $985.45).. I tried to catch it but at the last second – it faded off the screen… anyway… WHAT A DAY!

Here it is:

Maine Country Music Hall of Fame

admin — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 04:06:04 +0000

Ira became a member of the “Maine Country Music Hall of Fame” on May 13, 2006.

The Maine Country Music Association came into being in January, 1977; at a country music club in Windham. Twelve (12) people who had made part or all of their living at Country Music put their heads together and formed the new association. The first president was Slim Andrews. The late Barry Dean and Slim were instrumental in drawing up the By-laws and Constitution to cause this organization to become a Non-Profit group. They also dreamed of a Maine Country Music Hall of Fame.

On the last Sunday in April, 1978, the first Maine Country Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Program was held. There were three (3) worthy pioneers inducted into this honorable society. From 1978 to 2006 when Ira was inducted, there had already been sixty-seven (67) inducted.

In 2008, the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame Museum was created. Ira is so honored to be a part of this great organization and to be a part of the museum, alongside his friends and heroes.

Ira got a hole-in-one on a Par 4 across water at Cedarcrest Golf Course yesterday!
