Howdy, folks! Is there anyone here that's interested in starting up an "Important Country Songs" section? I hope the answer is yes, so let me know if anyone's interested!

P.S. I've got 2 Johnny Cash songs that would be perfect for starting things up: I Walk the Line & Ring of Fire.

I would hope Run By George Strait and Shameless By Garth Brooks earn induction. I've nominated several Country songs and albums over the years. It's been hit or miss for induction.

I have nominated some country songs on the song project here and there as well. I would be interested in contributing In a country song project and maybe a country album project. Not sure if I have a lot of country albums in mind at the moment.

I'm glad to at least see the idea of a country song and country album project gain some positive momentum. I'm willing to be patient in this regard, but I'm starting to formulate a list of country songs in my head that would be a good start for a list. I'll try to keep you posted.

I would be willing to take part in the song and album lists.

What's happening, FCL? Any word on when you might be jumpstarting projects for Important Country Songs & Important Country Albums? I'm still hoping that you guys will soon be willing to create Song & Album sections, and I would to be a part of such projects in the near future.

Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you.

What's happening, Future Country Legends? Any word on when you might be beginning projects for Important Country Songs or Important Country Albums? I know this isn't exactly the first time I've asked you this question, but I think enough time has passed for me to ask again about the possibility of making this into a reality.

If anyone is reading this message, please let me know as soon as possible. I'd love to welcome suggestions about kickstarting these projects. Thank you for your time, and have a good night.
