Posted 12 May 2008 8:31 am MY BURING BIG QUESTION
|
|
WHY ISN'T SMILEY IN THE ISGHOF?
IN RECENT YEARS, IT SEEMS LIKE THE ISGHOF IS PLAYING POLITICS MORE THAN REWARDING THOSE WHO HAVE DONE THE MOST TO FURTHER STEEL GUITAR.
SMILEY IS A TERRIFIC PLAYER ON HIS OWN MERIT, IN ADDITION TO HAVING GAINED MORE FAVORABLE PUBLICTY THAN ANYONE ELSE FOR THE STEEL GUITAR.
HE HAS FOR YEARS BEEN THE UNOFFICIAL GOOD WILL AMBASSADOR FOR STEEL GUITAR AND FOR THIS REASON ALONE HE SHOULD BE IN THE HOF |

The list of inductees is here:

I don't see any names that are there because of politics. Please enlighten me.
There is a nomination form at

if you'd like to nominate Brother Smiles. |

Regarding his being or not being in the SGHOF, a steel guitarist must be nominated before he can be inducted. Nomination documents have not been received by the SGHOF board, and so Smiley Roberts has not yet been nominated.
