NASHVILLE (AP) – Charlie Daniels says his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame is the “cherry on top of the icing….it’s where the cake stops.” Daniels says he never even dared to dream about being inducted and he’s flabbergasted at the honor. Randy Travis was able to smile and say “thank you” at the announcement of the inductees in Nashville yesterday. He is not able to talk much after suffering a stroke three years ago. His wife, Mary, says Travis is a man of courage who has been able to weather the storms in life with the help of God. Monument Records founder Fred Foster will be inducted as a non-performer. The induction ceremony will be later this year.
