The Country Music Hall of Fame is at it again.  With their size now doubled from the year previous they have had room for new exhibits, a new theatre and as such, a week after they announced a Kenny Rogers exhibit, a spotlight exhibit on Crystal Gayle will be gracing the Hall next month.


Dubbed “Crystal Gayle: When I Dream”, the exhibit will showcase her awards, her fashion and personal memorabilia starting from May 2 to November 3 of this year.  Gayle will be on hand on the 3rd of May for a concert, which will be streamed on the museum’s website.

The younger sister of Country Music icon, Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gayle was best known for her floor length hair and Country Pop success.  Her biggest hit, “Don’t it Make it Brown Eyes Blue” was one of the biggest songs of the 1970’s, and is still well known today.

Again, we commend the Country Music Hall of Fame for being one of the most innovative of its kind. 



We here at Notinhalloffame.com are fascinated with the creation of new Halls of Fame (especially since we have made two of our own).  As such we are very curious to see how the new International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame will grow now that they have named their first ever Class.


The inaugural Class of 2014 includes the following six women:

Barbara Buttrick, an English pioneer in the sport who competed in the Flyweight and Bantamweight division and stood an inch under five feet.  She had an unverified record of 30-1-1, and was recognized in 1957 as the first ever women’s boxing champion when she defeated Phyllis Kugler in a match in San Antonio by unanimous decision. 

Bonnie Canino spent sixteen years as a Kickboxer and Boxer in the late 80’s and 90’s.  Canino held the WIBF and IFBA Featherweight Titles and had an 11 and 4 Boxing record.

Christy Martin might very well be considered the headliner of the inaugural class.  Martin signed with Don King and became the most famous female boxer of her day.  In the eyes of many, her pugilistic prowess legitimized female boxing.  Martin retired with a record of 49-7-3 with 31 Knockouts.

Regina Halmich was born in Germany and competed for fifteen years from 1993 to 2007.  She was the first Continental European Female Boxing superstar and she won three IFBA Titles in three different weight classes.  Halmich finished her career with a record of 54-1-1.

Lucia Rijker was born in the Netherlands and has been referred to as the most dangerous woman in the world by multiple publications.  She starred as a Kickboxer and would later become undefeated in the boxing realm amassing a 17 and 0 record.

Jo-Ann Hagen is inducted posthumously and is one of the early pioneers of Women’s Boxing.

The ceremony will take place on July 10th in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 





It was reported that Dr. Jack Ramsay passed away to today at the age of 89.  Ramsay was best known for his twenty-one seasons as a Head Coach in the National Basketball Association, most famously for leading the Portland Trailblazers to their only Championship to date.  This was accomplished in his first season in Oregon a year after the Blazer had failed to even make the playoffs.  Overall, Ramsay had a winning percentage of .525 and he was known as being ahead of the curve in regards to conditioning of his players.

After his coaching career ended in 1988, he would later take a broadcasting job with the Miami Heat in 1992 which he would hold for eleven years.  The Portland Trailblazers would later retire the number 77 (the year that they won the title) in his honor and in 1992 he would be selected to the Basketball Hall of Fame. 

We here at Notinhalloffame.com offer our condolences to the family and friend of Dr. Jack Ramsay at this time.




In 1977 a new live music program called Austin City Limits came about to celebrate the music scene in the Texas Capital.  This PBS produced program helped to propel Austin to become the “Live Music Capital of the World” and is still a highly respected program today.  The program has now branched out to create their own Hall of Fame, which had its first induction ceremony last night.

The headliner was Willie Nelson, who appeared on the first ever show, was inducted by Academy Award Winner and fellow Texan, Matthew McConaughey.  Nelson, who is already a music legend, is an icon in Austin where a street is named after him and an eight foot bronze statue of his likeness is also present.  Nelson performed a medley of hits on stage at the induction ceremony, and was joined by Emmylou Harris and Lyle Lovett.

The inaugural Austin City Limits Hall of Fame also included Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, long time show producer, Bill Arhos and former University of Texas Football Coach, Darrell Royal.  Royal’s induction stemmed form his “pickin parties” with Texas singers at his Austin home after football games that inspired the show.

We will be keeping an eye on how this new Hall of Fame progresses, and we congratulate those chosen for the first class
