		In two short years, the Hall of Fame has grown from displays for only about a dozen groups, to cases of memorabilia highlighting more than 90 groups; plans are to have 125 installments by the end of the year.
		Although groups are not eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame until 20 years after their first recording, they can still be enshrined in the museum, Frank said.
