Tanya Tucker and Patty Loveless are among the newest inductees into the Country Music Hall Of Fame. Sunday they, along with legendary songwriter Bob McDill, entered the hallowed halls as members, not as visitors. McDill was inducted first. The songwriting legend has classic hits like "Amanda," "Don't Close Your Eyes" and "Gone Country" to his credit. On-site to honor McDill was Charley Crockett performing “Louisiana Saturday Night,” Country Music Hall of Fame member Dean Dillon singing “All the Good Ones Are Gone,” and finally Jamey Johnson who delivered “Good Ole Boys Like Me.” Fellow songwriter Don Schlitz stepped up to the podium to officially present McDill with his medallion, while declaring him his "songwriting hero." Next up was Patty Loveless, who was honored by performances of “The Sounds of Loneliness” by Sister Sadie, Bob Seger’s rendition of “She Drew a Broken Heart” and Country Music Hall of Fame member Vince Gill who both performed “Lonely Too Long” and presented Loveless with her medallion. Finally, it was Tanya's turn. Her career was honored by Country Music Hall of Fame members Charlie McCoy and Wynonna, who performed "Delta Dawn," Margo Price and Jessi Colter took the stage to deliver "It’s a Little Too Late” and Brandi Carlile sang "Two Sparrows in a Hurricane." Finally, Tucker returned to the stage to claim her medallion from Connie Smith and Brenda Lee. Wynonna then closed out the ceremony out with a stirring rendition of "Will The Circle Be Unbroken."
Do you believe in ghosts? Darius Rucker does - because he's seen one. The story came out on yesterday's "The Kelly Clarkson Show." When the topic turned to Halloween and all things supernatural, Kelly asked the singer if he had ever had any ghostly experiences - and Darius told the story of when he saw his grandmother's ghost while he was in college. "I was in college and me and Dean (Felber), who plays bass in Hootie (& The Blowfish), we moved into this place and we each got a bunch of beds from my house that were around, and I had my grandmother's bed...my grandmother had died...and I wake up 3 o'clock one morning I look at the edge of my bed...my grandmother is sitting there. And she's sitting there, and I sit up and I wipe my eyes, and I go 'Wow!' and she's still sitting there, and I get up and I run out of my bed and I run into Dean's room and I was like, 'Dean! My grandmother's ghost is in my room, can I sleep in your bed?' He went, 'No!'" See the clip below...
