JOURNEY Guitarist NEAL SCHON To Donate Collection To OKPOP Museum
July 10, 2018, 6 years ago
Tulsa World reports that Journey guitarist Neal Schon confirmed Monday that he will be donating items to the Oklahoma Museum of Popular Culture and told a story about how a Tulsan aided his music career by giving him a “break”.
Schon appeared at a news conference inside the BOK Center (site of a Journey and Def Leppard concert Monday night) with Jeff Moore, executive director of OKPOP.
“We are really excited to announce today that we will have a Neal Schon collection at OKPOP,” Moore said.
Groundbreaking is expected later this year for OKPOP, which will pay tribute to Oklahoma creatives who impacted pop culture.
“We’re going to get a nice collection for you all," Schon said. "I am going to have go through my zillion guitars and figure out which ones I am going to ship and I’m also going to get you a giant platinum plaque with all our records in it and dedicate it to the museum.”
