Medallion: Four Enter Hall Of Fame
An understandable solemnity infused Sunday night’s Medallion
Ceremony (5/1), as Eddie Bayers, the late Pete Drake,
The Judds and the late Ray Charles were inducted into the
Country Music Hall of Fame. The prior day’s shocking passing of
Naomi Judd was an inevitable refrain, despite a spirited push
for celebrating music and music makers, moments of levity and
inspired – though mostly downtempo – performances.
Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum CEO Kyle Young set
the tone. “We will recognize Pete Drake, Eddie Bayers, The Judds
and Ray Charles
in the ways
we know – out
of love and
obligation, with
so much sorrow

said. CMA CEO
