Goal Amount: $5000

Due to a loss of operating budget, the Country Music Hall of Fame has
put the "Walk of Fame" on hold. This project has been canceled until
further notice, and the collected money has been returned.
Every year, more than one million visitors will pass through the Country
Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee. An ambitious project has
recently been undertaken by the Hall of Fame to create a walkway of stars
engraved with the names of country music superstars. Fan clubs from around
the country for multitudes of artists have banded together to ensure that
their star is not left behind. The BillyHeads are no different.
We spoke with the Senior Vice President in charge of the Country Music
Hall of Fame, Ms. Diana Johnson, and set a tentative cost of $5000.
We quickly requested and received the approval of Tim McFadden, Senior Vice
President of Billy's management company, RPM Management, and began collections
for the project, even though the timetable for creation of the star has
been estimated at no sooner than 2003.
While certainly the BillyHeads' most ambitious project to date, it should
also prove to be one of the most rewarding ones. Once again we have an
outstanding opportunity to show our appreciation for Billy, and to do
so in a permanent way that many thousands of people a year will enjoy. The
initial support of the BillyHeads members has been tremendous, and we hope
for it only to increase as the deadline draws nearer. In our previous
endeavors, we have always managed to collect significantly more money than
was needed to cover the cost of the project. If the same holds true, we
will keep with tradition and donate the excess money to one of Billy's
favorite charities, St. Jude's Children's Hospital,
in Billy's name.
If you would like more detailed information about the project, and up-to-the
minute updates to our totals and the progress of the creation of the star
itself; or, if you would like to participate in the project in a method that
does not require sending any money, please visit these links for more
