I was SO honored and excited today to get to sing with my mom on The Marty Stuart Show!!! I mean…how cool is that all the way around?!?
(Ricky Skaggs and I sang harmony with her on “A Far Cry from You” on an earlier taping this season…I love me some Ricky and can remember rocking out to “Country Boy” when I was in middle school..I’m kicking myself for not documenting that moment of getting to sing with him AND my mom with photographs.) So, this time I remembered to snap a few…it’s hard to do when you’re caught up in the moment.
I was super pumped to get to meet Iris Dement…one of my total favorites who I listened to so much back in college that her music is definitely on the soundtrack of my life and whose songs I love trying to pick out on the guitar and sing.
And, of course, it was a huge honor to get to sing harmony on “The End of the World” with my mom. We had to pretty much not look at each other because we knew we would either start laughing or crying. It was a moment I’ll never forget…looking around and seeing Marty coaching me along on guitar…resting on the music of Pig Robbins and The Fabulous Superlatives…feeling the swell of The Nashville Chamber Orchestra playing behind us…and looking over at my precious mommy doing what she was born to do…HUGE!!!
Here’s a picture of Iris Dement and me and mommy and me.
