I really think that with this honor and the exhibit in the HOF Alan will be inducted into the Hall next year. These are really big honors, especially being the artist in residence. I'm so excited and happy for Alan and his family. He deserves the recognition for keeping country music alive!!!

I think it is a shame that Alan hasn't been in the Hall Of Fame long ago, he has been carrying the Country Music of old for 25 years, I sometimes wonder if they hold it against him for singing Murder on Music Row with George Strait and then cutting short his song and singing part of George Jones song at the awards ---the big money seems to not liking a person with integrity who stands by his friends.
But it is a crime that they haven't put Hank Williams back also, his music was a big reason many kept the true country sound.
Everyone has their own taste but I seldom watch the awards shows any more--it is pop music not country.I only watched last night because Alan was getting an award--in fact I worried it might be one of those deals like his Precious Memories award where it was given off camera.
How I wish I could take a trip to Nashville just to see the exhibit but to hear Alan sing would be the frosting on the cake.

Duchess,
I agree with you. The awards shows are not what they used to be. Country music is not what it used to be. A bunch of Pop and Rap songs.

I agree with you bb2832. Alan just won the Golden Boot Award and Impact Award but no large announcements. There seems to be a select few artists that get all of the limelight. Know Alan does not care, but his fans care. George Strait is partially retiring so Alan needs to fight for true country music alone and we know he will. Alan will never change. I am so anxious for a new CD.

Yes!Alan Has acheived so much in his mere 25 Years. He looks Twenty Five to me, up close..
I have never been so Proud for anyone in my Life! He has done a tremendous work, won Awards , Grammy's,
been all over the world, but mostly his work has stood the test of time and is still just as Popular as it was ever!He writes from the Heart and hearing his songs , you can almost feel like you know Alan through his Music. I know all your Fans are excited over this "Artist in Residence" @ the CMHOF. crowds will follow!
Alan doesn't need the "limelight" to be Famous. His record of his work has proven what a valuable Artist he is.
Alan Jackson has inspired so many now famous Singers and he keeps putting out Great work. I admire this man's genius of work & him as a person. Congrats Alan & will see you in the Future and the younger Fans will adore you and be inspired by your Songs too. His music reminds me of Great writers whose work is Music that ministers to the Soul. It will linger long in our Hearts. Thank You, Thank You! Alan Jackson for All you have Done in music
and how you have touched my Life w/Your Work. God Bless, Jerrie(HomeTown) MS |

Dizzy,
Time flys when you'e having Fun huh. me too. I am aging w/Alan & that's ok too! He gets better as he
ages, if that's possible. He is more endearing to me hearing his Music and finally meeting him & just his
way he treats his Fans is awesome.I will be a Fan of His FOREVER. I actually love some of his older music too, sucha s "Monday Morning Church".. The Blues Man""I'll Go On Loving You" is a Great Love Song! Love his fun Songs too. His contribution to Music, has been one of the Best In Country Music. I have enjoyed so many , Many concerts of Alan's, he always leaves us wanting more. He is the same humble savvy Guy and
this makes him endering to all his Fans. Jerrie(Hometwon)MS

Still no announcements on tickets for this event. Also I believe the dates are Oct. 8 & 22nd not the 29th.

:)Gosh, I hope he's performing on October 22 at the CMHOF....I'll be in Nashville that week and am staying downtown near there. I think the number of people the CMHOF venue holds is limited, isn't it? Hope I can get tickets if he performs.....Looking forward to my visit to Nashville and am excited about seeing AJ's exhibit. i haven't been to Nashville in quite a few years.

Music44. Alan is scheduled for Oct. 22nd. Lucky you.
The 29th was an error. So sorry. I have a room for the 9th but still not seen anything about tickets for either show. There are only 800 seats according to what was said during Alan's big announcement that day. I hope we both get tickets. Good luck!
