In addition to the 2 annual categories, musician is the rotating one for this year. If the pattern holds, the musician will be someone Nashville based, possibly someone from the "A" team. Personally, I would like to see them get out of that box and look at folks such as Don Rich or Brother Oswald, both of whom would seem overdue. <br /><br />As to the other 2 categories, I think it is safe to say that the usual names are being floated about: Brooks & Dunn, The Judds, Ricky Skaggs, Ray Stevens, Dottie West, Tanya Tucker, Hank Williams, Jr., maybe add Crystal Gayle to the mix. You never know who the voters could be thinking of in any given year or the public relations efforts put behind any individual candidate. <br /><br />I will say that last night I watched Eddie Rabbit on the Opry Encore on RFD-TV. He has been gone for several decades now, but what an amazing singer. I checked the charts and he had a significant number of No. 1 hits, yet you seldom hear his name mentioned anymore. Sad.

It would not be a surprise if he did as many of the musicians did play with a variety of artists.
