. (The Blues) The Blues Foundation have filed a permit to convert their Memphis headquarters into the permanent Blues Hall Of Fame, with the main phase of construction starting this week.

The 10-month project will see the Main Street building turned into a museum for exhibits relating to the hundreds of people and albums that have been added to the Hall Of Fame since it was founded in 1980.

Directors say: "The Blues Hall Of Fame will pay tribute to the great blues men and women, giving them and their music the validation they deserve. It will educate visitors about blues music and its performers - thousands of schoolchildren each year will be able to visit at no cost. It will be the place for serious blues fans, casual visitors and wide-eyed students. more on this story
