Dixie Hall, wife of Tom T. Hall, leaves a lasting legacy in music

This past Friday, Dixie Hall, the wife of Kentucky native, Tom T. Hall, passed away at the age of 80 years.  She will be remembered for her historic bluegrass and country music songs that she has written – over 500; as well as her laughter and love for her husband.

Back in 2011, I had the opportunity to meet Miss Dixie at the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony.  She and Tom were there to induct Melvin Goins.  She was full of laughter and smiles that night, even up at the podium.

Below are a few photos of that night that I thought I would share.  Be sure to check out The Tennessean’s feature on Dixie Hall by clicking here.  It is amazing how much history and stories she could tell over the years.
