“After all I’ve been through and accomplished and all the great luck I’ve had, when I think about 20-something years ago the first time I was driving down Music Row with a paper sack full of songs, I never could’ve imagined standing here in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame in the heart of Nashville and in the heart of country music, and having ’em put my name down in this concrete that’ll be here for a long time, that’s just something you never thought about and never dreamed about,” says Alan. “I never dreamed it could happen. Hell, I could thank a million people out there, but the fans are the ones to me that put that name there.”
