Since there have been and still are several country music artists playing traditional country music, yet receiving no recognition from the self acclaimed industry experts, we the staff of RJB Productions, have decided to honor these people in our own special way. Therefore, we are initiating our own Original Country Music Hall of Fame award. This award is given those arts whose talents have been largely ignored and whose recognition in some cases is years past due. The star we now proudly welcome as an inductee into the Original Country Music Hall of Fame on this 17th day of May 2009 is proclaimed to be Vern Gosdin. RJB Productions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somewhere between the greed for money and sound judgment, the legends of country music were tossed aside for the outlandish sound they call country music today.
