_ _ _ _ _ I've never sung in my whole life, but I used to be really shy about it.
Like I remember very specifically the first time I ever sang for my mom and dad. _ _
Hey food alright. _ _ _ _ _
Do I get food _ _ with every question you ask?
_ The first time I ever sang for my mom and dad, I made them stand outside my bedroom door and I hid behind my bed and I sang, I think I sang the national anthem.
My goodness.
Wow.
Now then later you were traveling with your father right?
Yes that's right.
After I graduated from college in 2009 my dad was going to go on tour to Australia and New Zealand and I asked if I could come along just kind of as a vacation and he said, well you gotta work. _
So he put me to slaving away over a hot banjo. _
_ _ _ _ When he was, the last time he was in Branson, I understood that you and your brother were _ playing with him.
In Branson?
Let's see when was this?
I have no idea.
There's been many a Branson trip.
He used to have a theater there.
Yeah one of the last times.
Oh okay.
When you guys were performing because you guys.
So this was on the tour.
I was told you stood by him and if he didn't know the words to the song you'd tell him the words?
Yeah that was for the entire tour so my dad was dealing with Alzheimer's at the time and so he needed a little help sometimes like he might, our guitar tech would come out and the capo on the guitar would be in the right spot and my dad would, he'd hand him the guitar and sometimes my dad would just see there's a capo on it and take it off.
And then start playing the song as if the capo were on it.
So one time I actually had to sneak up behind him as he was playing the song and took the capo and put it back on the guitar in the middle of the song. _
But yeah he was, he's just awesome and it was an honor to be able to help [B] him out.
