um well my journey is I have a relationship with Chuck Rhodes who is working with the committee to help them put on an event such as this and I love Chuck and close ties to autism I had a cousin who was autistic and my aunt passed away and so it's definitely near and dear to my heart and You know, it's hard to me as an entertainer to say no to charities when it's, number one, it is important.

The cause is important. But just overall, we're lucky to get to do what we do. And if someone asks us to be there, it is hard to say no. I live in Nashville. I'm right here. It's like, what's my excuse?

Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, we are, like I said, lucky to get to do what we do. So anytime that someone asks us, it is an honor. That's like, oh, thank you for wanting me there. You know, whatever I can do to add to the night, hopefully.

Right, absolutely. Anything, I mean, I have a daughter who's 21, and I know going through school, you know, all the years through elementary to middle school, you know, every child's experience is a different one, and any challenge that is there needs to be met and needs to be fostered and, like,

you know maybe they need extra time on a test you know you don't know what someone's going through and i think it's important because we live in such a fast-paced world to understand that um you know no matter where you are on the spectrum many people are whether it's a kid or an adult right that sometimes it is the extra time. Sometimes it's the patience that we need.

And like I said, you know, the fast-paced thing really gets to us. But it's beautiful when you see a child who takes that extra time to stop and smell the roses, so to speak. And if we could be like that, if we could be more appreciative of all the little things in life and slow down and realize that whatever they need, if they need to go that slow, that's how slow we need to go.
