Well it is about time that Grand Ole Opry Legend is inducted into a Hall of Fame. Now we need to get this Grand Lady inducted into The Country Music Hall of Fame. Sam Harris, Jamie Oldaker, Jean Shepard and Les Gilliam will be the four inductees this year into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame. The four were named as the 2010 inductees during a news conference Monday in Tulsa. The 14th annual induction ceremony and concert is set for Nov. 4 at the Muskogee Civic Center. Shepard, who was born in Pauls Valley, is known as a honky-tonk singer and songwriter, while Gilliam, known as the “Oklahoma Balladeer,” is from Gene Autry in southern Oklahoma.
