Great comment. I love music because of the emotional impact it has on me. I also absolutely love watching someone who is incredibly passionate perform their craft. I was in school at Auburn before he hit the band party circuit there but those I know who have seen him say the exact same thing. The moment for me was when he walked into the room playing the harmonica. You can just tell his being is music. He might not be the best, but he is an absolute joy to watch perform.
Do you ever listen to Rick and Bubba? They had him on their show and asked him if AI would allow him to play the harmonica....he said that if he could get it up there they might not have any choice. :) He probably wouldn't dare to though.
