15th Annual Texas Country Music Hall of Fame Show
Big changes are in store for the
15th Annual Texas Country Music Hall of Fame show. Rather than
inducting new artists, show producer Tommie Ritter Smith has compiled an
all-star lineup of some of country music’s greatest legends to perform in
concert. All are popular Grand Ole Opry stars who have joined together to make
this a show to remember. The all-star lineup includes Jim Ed Brown, T. Graham
Brown, Helen Cornelius, David Frizzell, Johnny Rodriguez, Jeannie Seely, and T.G.
Sheppard.
Smith states, “This is only a
sampling of the lineup of entertainment. I have invited some of the friends
we’ve met through the years and will be adding more of these to the list as it
gets closer to show time.” The event is August 18, and will be held at the
Carthage Civic Center. Tickets go on sale May 7, and all seats are $60.
Grammy
award-winning entertainer Linda Davis will be at the Hall of Fame to offer her
services as a consultant to anyone interested in improving their performance
skills. Her consulting firm, STAGE PERFORMANCE 101, is designed to offer
guidance to other entertainers. Davis has clients that range in age and
aspirations, from the 8-year-old girl who is entering a talent contest, to the
woman who wants to improve her church solos, and from the pageant contestant who
wants to win at state level, to the new recording artist. Each benefit from the
critiques and experience of working one on one with Davis.

Tex Ritter Museum. . . was opened on the
upper floor of the Hawthorn-Clabaugh-Patterson House on October 18, 1992.
Memorabilia was received from Ritter's family in California, and after hours of
cleaning and cataloging the items by volunteers, the museum became a reality.
With the opening of the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame, the Museum was moved
to the new location in August, 2003.
