Photos: Holiday Cheer with Jimmy Wayne and The Farm

Jimmy Wayne at Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

Jimmy Wayne helped the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum ring in the Christmas holiday with its first ever tree lighting ceremony on November 25th.

Wayne performed a mix of originals and traditional Christmas carols with special guests, the Independence High School Show Choir, and helped count down the lighting of the Hall of Fame’s 25 foot Christmas tree.

The newly published author also signed copies of his book Paper Angels (Howard Books/Simon & Schuster) in the museum’s gift store following the ceremony.

Wayne recently finished writing and recording a new CD inspired by people he met and places he saw during his 1700-mile walk to raise awareness for foster children across America. The release is expected in 2012.
