I happened to catch the top 40 men in Country
music on the cmt channel and much to my surprise after all was said and done, there was no "Ray Price", They had Toby Keith, Dwight Yokham, Travis Tritt, Randy Travis, and several other new comers and a lot of the older guys that were deserving but no "Ray Price". How could you have a country music show with the top 40 men in country music and not honor this man who single handedly did more in my eyes for country music and our instrument than anyone else ever? How could this happen?

I'd have to think about making my own list which I haven't done, but I think Ray Price would be on the top 10 of such a list. Can't
imagine why he was omitted.

Since it wasn't "The Top 40 Steel Players in Country", I'm moving this topic to the "Music" section of the Forum. |
