Welcome to it, chewing the fat with the American dream and Aaron Watson is of course living his

American dream and what better person to talk about Aaron Watson than Aaron Watson

himself absolutely so Aaron Watson, welcome to Chewing the Fat American Dream.

You are living your American dream, my friend.

It's good to see you.

It's good to be seen.

Looking great.

I was just looking back and I realized that it's been 20 years since you've been cranking

out your music.

Yeah.

20 years.

Before we even go back a little bit farther than that that got you to

to that starting point 20 years ago even 20 years ago did you have any idea that

you'd be where you're having to do you envision a little bit of where you're

at now I think I was dreaming big I didn't think it would take me 20 years to get to this

point you know I think I was 20 you know I was like I've I'm gonna take over the world and I'm gonna do it and in the next year right right right I think there was that but but you know I realized somewhere along the way that this is going to be a

grind and you're going to have to earn it and the real world stepped in yeah and um but gosh you know I've never felt like

it was a struggle it there were definite. There's definitely been challenges sure of course

but I've always I've loved what I was doing that's most important right so that's it's not a, it's not a struggle then.

Yeah, I've always been passionate about it and I've always been committed and I always understood

that like listen, what a great opportunity to get to do what I'm doing and you're going to have to get

out there and you're going to have to work hard and I definitely took the the path less chosen.
