They were the two big ones and with my dad being on the radio … we’d keep switching back and forth. They were our go-to stations.

I’ll never forget the time my dad and I performed “Mockingbird” on the CMA Awards in 2004. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw were in the front row. Like, right in front of our faces.
