Craig Morgan

In Dixon on WDKN, a little AM station.

I had taken it in and played it for them.

And they put it on before the record label even sent it out to have it, you know, to start working it.

Yeah.

And I just, you know what I remember thinking?

I remember thinking, God, I hope...

hope kdf and wsm and everybody else downplays it yeah because i don't think that many people listen wdkn did you feel like at that moment that you had made it or did were you like i have more work to do i'll be honest with you buddy i've never felt like i never felt like i made it until 2008 wow and i had three top uh three number ones at that point what was the pivotal moment that made you when they said would you like to be a member of the grand ole opry

I'll be honest.

When they asked, when the Opry asked, I mean, it hadn't gotten to a point where I was telling the management, like, have I done something?

I wasn't aggravated that I wasn't asked to be a member.

I was more concerned that I had done something that would prevent me from becoming a member.

Yeah, what have I done?

It wasn't...

You know, I deserve this because I never felt like that.

Even today when I step in that circle, it's like it's one of the most humbling experiences.

And I'm so grateful for it.

But I always felt like I had done something that would prevent them from asking me.

Because I had the hits.

I was touring.

I was, you know, doing all of those things.
