Vince Gill held his fan club party this morning at the historic Belcourt Theatre in Nashville during the CMA Music Festival. Wearing a black t-shirt that simply said “CHET” (in honor of one of his guitar heroes, Chet Atkins), he provided fans with breakfast and answered fan questions for more than two hours. Vince shared personal stories about visiting his grandparents in nursing homes and learning to drive, talked golf, reflected on his decades-long career and discussed the state of the music industry with the neutrality of someone who’s spent a lot of years in the business. But when a fan asked if Vince had a favorite guitar, he and many in the theatre became emotional. |

QUOTE(linda @ Jun 13 2010, 08:48 PM) Cathy, your granddaughter was wonderful!! OMG, that baby was so excited! I hope no one got mad that she took up a little of 'Vince time'. On her card, she wrote to ask him if he would sing that song with her. He didn't know it, and she sang it alone. She is still bubbling about it. |

She was adorable, Cathy! You said she's 7? My oldest niece will be 8 in October, although I don't know if she's into Miley much...I know she loves Sugarland's "All I Want to Do"...she loves to sing along to that song.

(thanks for the sweet comment about my sweet girl!) And I almost knocked you out, lol ! Thank you for the compliment ! It was neat watching Vince watching her sing. It was just so refreshing to hear Vince speak with such candour on all the subjects he was asked about, but very hard to watch him when he was trying not to cry, wanted so badly to hug him. -------------------- Linda UK |
