Silver Laughter’s home base was in Davenport, Iowa. We toured the Midwest for several years and put out two albums and countless singles. Radio stations in various markets played our music. Why have we been ignored by the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Buddy Holly, whose only claim to fame in Iowa was that he was killed in a plane crash in Clear Lake and gets in. WE played Clear Lake and lived to tell about it! Sorry if this sounds impertinent, but we need help getting nominations since band members cannot recommend themselves. Go to:

and fill out the information. We appreciate your help. Who knows? It would bring the band back together again!
