They were both great performers and deserve to be in the Hall of Fame as much, if not more, than some who have already been elected. It is time they are where they belong.

i feel that this is such a teerible thing that nashville and the country music foundation does not recognize the talents and achievements of these two really true great pioneers of country music. it is so sad that two great entertainers song styleists and and also their ability as two of the finest guitar players ever. i shurely hope that some way Hawkshaw Hawkins and Cowboy Copas can finally be honerd in their rightful place in the hall of fame.

Long over due, this statement don't even come close to the injustice these two entertainers have received. They are the backbone of what real country music was about. There are individuals already in the hall of fame that haven't come close to the talent of Lloyd "Cowboy " Copas or Harold "Hawkshaw " Hawkins.

I agree and loved Patsy and still love her so much that I listen to her every day. I also Listen to Hawkshaw music and Cowboy Copas. I may not listen to them as much as I do Patsy, but do feel they deserve recognition also.

it is time these two fine singers were recognized.along with slim whitman and george hamilton IV. it would appear that the cmf would rather recognized "singers" with much less ability and have no connection to country music. what the hell is brenda lee doing in there anyway !!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a classic country fan since the age of 13, and I completely and wholeheartedly agree that Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins should be elected to the country music hall of fame. I am 24 years of age and I'm a visually impaired guy who resides in Canada. My family and I are Sri Lankans. I use a computer with speech. Let's induct these great gentleman to the hall of fame! Yours truly, Maheen Wickramasinghe.

Both of these men were not only great singers they were great human beings. They should be remembered before many of these newer stars.
# 2:

It is way past time for these men to be inducted. They need to let some of the newer stars wait and get the people that spent countless hours in cars and buses going from show to show inducted. Not the ones today that fly around in private jets.
