President speaks with Paisley on floods
The singer disclosed the information while a special guest on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 Thursday night. During the conversation, President Obama assured Paisley that the federal agency FEMA was in place in Nashville and serving and Paisley reinforced this message to the people of Nashville during his Cooper interview. On May 4 President Obama declared a disaster for Tennessee so families whose homes have been damaged by floods may be able to receive direct aid to help in the rebuilding process.
Paisley told Cooper of the Grand Ole Opry, "it's a show - not a place, and the show goes on." He said he would participate in an upcoming GAC national telethon to aid Nashville flood victims, Music City Keep On Playin', which will air live on Sunday, May 16, 8-10 p.m. eastern on Great American Country television from the Ryman Auditorium.

Brad Paisley's new live hits CD is a bit of a tease. That's because it only goes half way in replicating the true live Paisley experience. Watching the accompanying concert videos at a Paisley show, whether the venue screen is showing Andy Griffith during Waitin' on a Woman or the montage of recently-deceased celebrities that accompanies When I Get Where I'm Going, reveal how Paisley simply must be seen to be fully enjoyed.
Nevertheless, Paisley in concert and captured on ...
Brad Paisley has grown up on his eighth album. Yes, the West Virginian maintains a sense of humor, but apparently aging has left its mark on a maturing singer who has never forsaken his country roots.
