Tell us why? Oh? Imean, it's just so much more intimate.
You know, it's just us andguitars, and we can stop and
tell a story in the middle ofa song if we want to. And
I don't know, there's just likethis freedom that comes with those acoustics sets.
It's it's almost like setting in RussellDickerson's living room and him playing music

is? Are you gonna and you'reserving us drinks, little foods, some
snacks, yeah, exaxt please snacksplease? Right? So the other cool
part about this, as you've ringa couple of songwriters with you. I
mean, you're right yourself and soI don't think people quite understand unless you've

(01:06):
experienced it. How cool that isto be able to sit there with folks
that have written these songs and getthe stories behind them. How about that?
Oh yeah, I mean that's II even love that, you know,
to go see songwriters, you know, sit down and tell stories about
you know, this day we walkedin. I had no ideas and this
song just came out of nowhere andended up being a hit. You know,

Instagram singing that precious boy? Mygoodness, gracious did he not crush that?

his son on Instagram, and mygoodness, I couldn't. I really couldn't

family and stuff. Was it somethingthat you did from the beginning or what?

of ever singing in front of friendsand family was like a little karaoke machine.
I was singing friends in low places, little garth, and then yeah,
