It is hard to recognize every artist every year, but all the fabulous artists deserve a great round of applause for their music and entertainment which they give us all the time. Also, GCRnashville wants to point out that this is the third year for the Fred Leonard Memorial Award which was founded in 2012 just 2 weeks after the death of the legendary Fred Leonard who left us with a standard and legacy that is to this day, unmatched.
