The Country Music Hall of Fame










The Country Music Hall of Fame was on of our final visits during our time in Nashville. By this time the city was getting completely over run by the CMA Fest crowds and traffic. The CMHoF was created in 1961 and built their first building in 1967 and opened the current building in 2001. While interesting I though that they glazed over some of the more important people in country music history. I realize that what is today country music started as a wide variety of different and distinct music. But to give Hank Williams as much, or less, area than some of the stars of the eighties who are no longer around is to belittle Hank's importance. They did have a full exhibit to Patsy Cline at the time of our visit. But they are planning to double the space in the next couple of years so maybe this can be resolved.
