Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down Podcast.

My thanks is always for clicking and listening along.

Excited to bring you this one this week.

He is three time Grammy award winning country music superstar Brad Paisley.

I just got back from Nashville last night was down there shooting a couple interviews,

including one with Brad Paisley and we shot it.

Oh my gosh, what a thrill on stage at the Ryman Auditorium, which is known as the Mother

Church of Country Music.

If you've never been in Nashville, when you go make time to stop at the Ryman, it is

a cathedral.

Literally it was a church.

So the seats inside our pews, there are stained glass windows upstairs.

So when you stand on that stage, first of all, you feel the history of every artist who's

ever had a name and country music who stood on that stage, but also just looking out at

the pews, it's a tight room with great acoustics, watching the sun stream through the stained

glass windows.

Absolutely incredible.

So Brad Paisley and I sat on that stage and chatted.

The room where I flew in and got ready in this room backstage at the Ryman, it was the

Johnny and June cash room where they spent a lot of time and there's a picture on the wall

of Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley must have been late 50s, early 60s.

In our backstage, my God, can you imagine what they'd been up to that night?
