That's what it's like to write a number one song or to step out on a stage and there's 30,000 people that know the words to your music and you've never met any of them.

And it's that way all over the U.S.

You can imagine that feeling, especially in your 20s.

Yeah.

I mean, there's no better physical feeling I don't think you can have than just, it's just massive adrenaline.

And so...

throughout the course of the next years, here comes Big and Rich, which is, you know, my singing partner, Big Kenny.

And we sold millions of records and we have 20, 30,000 people a night.

And here's a whole nother rack of hit songs coming.

And now I'm finding people, you know, bartenders who I hear sing one night.

And I talked to this girl and I go, you're one of the best singers I've ever heard.

We got to get you in the studio.

We got to write some songs.

She goes, all right.

And so we do.

She gets a record deal.

Her name's Gretchen Wilson.

And Gretchen Wilson sold about 13 million records.

Damn.

You following this trend?
