[edit] Long Island musical heritage

The Hall of Fame gives the "Long Island Sound Award" to musical performers who have contributed to "Long Island's musical heritage",^[2] and held its first inaugural induction gala on October 15, 2006 at The Patchogue Theatre in Patchogue, New York.^[3] The decision of the Hall to define "Long Island" geographically, adding Brooklyn and Queens counties in addition to the more common definition which typically only refers to Suffolk and Nassau counties has been questioned, but the Hall states that the inclusion of all four counties on the land mass is in keeping with the historic mission of the museum.
