Love this song and Brad Paisley is awesome . I knew when we nick-named him Little Vince he was going places. Remember when Vince told about Brad thanking him for the scholarship to Belmont ?

Anna, I have always said Brad is a lot like Vince: singer, picker, writer, kind heart and wicked funny sense of humor! I have followed Brad since I heard the very first notes of "Who Needs Pictures", when he was a shy, quiet, babyfaced boy who wore high waisted, pressed Wranglers and button down "western" shirts! The first time I met him was the last few minutes of the very first Fan Fair he was at (way back at the fairgrounds!!) and knew I'd follow him for a very long time. He's gone through quite a few changes, but he'll always be the sweet, shy guy from way back when to me. He seems to have kept a level head and has done a good job of being a role model for those who are looking for one. Of course, I wish he still had the nice long meet and greets like he used to!!! Someday, that will happen again. I'll be waiting...

I have not had the pleasure of meeting or seeing Brad in one of his concerts. Have only seen him perform at Fan Fair but I watch him every chance I can on anything he is on television . That wicked sense of humor is part of his appeal . His playing ability is just out of sight but his song writing is ,imo, the best of his talent . When someone can write a song like Ticks then turn around and write Letter To Me or When I Get To Where I'm Going is just amazing to me . As we said ( a lot like someone else we know and love ) He will be one who will be around for a long time .
