Country Hall's Family Affair

I like Sonny James, but I've never considered him a Hall of Famer. Nominees Announced for 2006 CMA AwardsA borderine choice despite his credentials. Among the people missing in the Country Music Hall of Fame I keep hoping to see Tom T. Hall or Ray Charles' name come up. But neither has been inducted. James had a truckload of hits, 63 Top 40 and 23 #1's, so why not put him in there. For the Country Hall you don't need critical respect to get in. Alabama were never loved by Country critics. And sense fellow inductees get to vote, you know they'll vote for people they view as family.
