Earlier this month, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum welcomed the family of Grady Martin to the CMA Theater for a luncheon celebrating the announcement of Martin’s Hall of Fame induction. Museum staffers and the family discussed the upcoming fall Medallion Ceremony and the legacy of Martin, who was a member of the legendary “A-Team” and played on hundreds of records throughout his career.
