Garth Brooks Onstage Again!
Garth Brooks, Ray Price and Vince Gill performed Sunday (May 1) when some of country music's newest, biggest and most-revered figures turned out to honor Kris Kristofferson and Jim Foglesong, the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame. The invitation-only event at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum also featured performances by John Prine, the Oak Ridge Boys and others. Although Kristofferson and Foglesong were officially inducted last year, this part of the honor involves presenting them Hall of Fame medallions. Foglesong signed Garth to his first record deal with Capital Records.

Brooks attended with ladylove Trisha Yearwood and seemed to enjoy the festivities. He paused for a number of brief interviews and mingled for several minutes with the guests after the official program was over. Brooks recalled that on the summer day he auditioned for Foglesong, he was seated on a couch "where the sun had been shining about four hours." That hot seat plus his natural nervousness, he said, caused him to squawk rather than sing his first words. Adjusting his guitar, he then delivered a note-perfect rendition of "If Tomorrow Never Comes." photo:Neil Brake
