I would mainly have kept my cool…but I’d give anything just to shake hands with Keith Urban and/or Brad Paisley and, without a single word and action, immediately put my hands on the guitar and pray the music Gods are watching over me with better arrangements. :D You gotta love yourself for improvising on a better day. But seriously, the person I’d most be honored to meet is Randy Travis simply because without him, my music education and obsessive listening to this day would have taken a whole lot longer to find. I credit him and would say thank you sir for guiding me into music as well as putting the love of it into my life on a daily basis. I’d also ask him how does he play that Hard Rock Bottom of my Heart song: the chorus fill right before that line is sung, because I can’t seem to get it down yet. Still…not giving up on that as well.

Did he talk about his apparently very active role in guiding Diamond Rio’s career?

you can listen to the most recent 9513 podcast to see how I babbled like a school-girl when I got to hang with Dale Watson, and that was before we drank moonshine…

There are actually very few people I’d be star-struck by. But George Jones, that’s kind of like talking to a President or MLK… you just realize the enormity of what he’s done for country music.

I’ve met many celebrities over the years including people like Hank Aaron, Sonny Jurgenson, Satchel Paige, Jim Rose and Pete Rose, as well as as numerous country stars so I am not particularly star-struck.

I sat next to Ricky Skaggs on a plane heading to Los Angeles from Atlanta about twenty-five years ago – we both settled in listening to tapes on our portable tape recorders. I was listening to a copy of Webb Pierce’s Greatest Hits. When I pulled it out of my recorder , he asked if he could listen to it so we swapped tapes – we spoke a little about music but mostly just listened to tapes

I’d like to meet Merle Haggard and ask him “Merle, how did you go from Okie From Muskogee and Fighting Side of me to writing a song praising Hillary Clinton and supporting Obama? What in the hell happened to you man?” I’d make sure I was out of swinging distance and could make a quick exit….

I’m pretty shy to begin with, but I think it’d be almost terrifying to meet a celebrity xD It would be quite awesome though, if I ever got to meet Sara Evans <3
