Hall o Famer

The Grammys have announced albums for 2012 that will enter the Hall of Fame. Highlighting diversity and musical excellence, the collection acknowledges both singles and album recordings of all genres at least 25 years old that exhibit qualitative or historical significance. Through a tradition established nearly 40 years ago, recordings are reviewed annually by a special member committee comprising of eminent and knowledgeable professionals from all branches of the recording arts, with final approval by The Recording Academy's National Board of Trustees. With 25 new titles, the list currently totals 906 and is displayed at the GRAMMY Museum®.

The sole classical album this year is:
ROY HARRIS SYMPHONY NO. 3
Serge Koussevitzky, cond.
Boston Symphony Orchestra
RCA Victor (1940)
Classical (Album)

I also thought it was cool living in South Texas, seeing this song make it this year:

"DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS"
Gene Autry
(June Hershey & Don Swander)
Decca (1942)
Country (Single)
