Jim McBride's Alabama Music Hall of Fame Star.
The Alabama Music Hall of Fame is a special place that celebrates amazing musicians and people from Alabama who have made a big impact on music. It was first thought of by the Muscle Shoals Music Association in the early 1980s. The Hall of Fame Board then helped build a large building, about 12,500 square feet, after people in Alabama voted for it in 1987. The Hall of Fame officially opened its doors on July 26, 1990. You can find it in the town of Tuscumbia, Alabama.
