I'd also like to nominate Ed Black (RIP), who lived and played in Phoenix for quite a while, I believe.

Man O man, there's a slew of good candidates to choose from.
Although we have the 2016 recipients in place, a year from now we'll do it again.
The Hall Of Fame for the SWSGA takes in six states,
California
Nevada
Utah
Colorado
Arizona
New Mexico
So you see, we won't be running out of candidates in my life time.

This is a great idea...it always amazes me how many great players there are in that area and the contributions they have made to the steel guitar world. Ivan Greathouse and Danny Sneed would be other candidates I would think...I am sure the list would go on and on.
