I was hosting the Opry of one night when we were still doing the live TV show. And, uh, Andre was on the segment that we were doing. And I remember, of course, when he came out, he brought the house down. He had, he did two songs, as I recall, and he showed it at the house. And he was a great, great man. But because it was live TV, we had to go through the heartbreak of the commercial. It couldn't be. And he walked up to the side of the stage, I remember, and he realized he had an encore, and he looked at me and went, and all I could do was look at him and just shrug because we couldn't do it, you know. And I was always so frustrated with that. I'll never forget it. And, of course, I explained to him that we were going to do it. After we got through, why it had to be that way. But, uh, he was phenomenal. I loved him a lot. I wish I could have worked with him a lot. Well, since we're doing Hank Cox, we're going to do it.
