00:00Do you feel like you're reaching a younger generation of fans?

00:03I really do.

00:03I think that the exposure is great.

00:07The good thing is we see moms and dads and grandmas and grandpas

00:11bring grandkids or kids to these shows.

00:14They've probably heard mom and dad, grandma and grandpa

00:16playing this music all their life,

00:18but then when they get to see him in person,

00:20even with the challenges that we've had with the health,

00:23I think it gives them permission to dive in

00:26into traditional country music.

00:28And a lot of them, I started playing because I heard your music, Randy.

00:31I got a guitar when I was five because of you.

00:34And you hear those stories and you go,

00:36that's what it's all about.
