Randy is a great example of a hometown boy who was from Marshville and went to Nashville and didn't have immediate success, but really worked hard and ended up one of the greatest of all time.
- And the Grammy goes to old 8 by 10, Randy Travis.
- We had such a great time with Randy.
He showed us around backstage at the Opry.
When you walk through these halls, is it, does it feel like you're just coming home?
- Yeah, yeah.
- I think the biggest starstruck moment for us was seeing the dressing rooms with the names of famous performers that had been there.
So the backstage part was really kind of a starstruck moment for the crew.
And we were able to also build on the story with his sister in Marshville and interviewing folks that have known Randy all of his life.
So it was really a special time to get to know one of North Carolina's native sons.
And since we've last seen him, Randy is still growing strong.
He's been working on a tour as well as a new movie biopic about his life.
He's also been working really hard in DC to champion the rights of musicians with lawmakers.
So Randy's effect is still being felt.
And with his wife, Mary, by his side, he is continuing to make a difference.
- So I appreciate this very much.
Thank y'all.
