I found the list by going to Google and entering "Country Music Hall of Fame Inductees" into the search bar. That took me to Wikipedia, the internet encyclopedia. From there I copied and pasted the information into this email. When you are ready to go see the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum containing hundreds of pieces of memorabilia from sheet music to clothing, instuments to Alan Jackson's fathers's radio ("Daddy won a radio, he won it 30 years ago..." from Alan's song "Neon Rainbow") you can visit us on the web at www.VacationsMadeEasy.com or call us toll free at 1-800-987-9852. Thanks, Gracie! Brenda, CSR
