He’s the star out here at the CMA Music Festival as far as I’m concerned. He’s Michael Peterson and he was looking very relaxed today at the parade that took place only a few hours ago. Michael will be performing at the Riverfront stage on Saturday morning and I think I’ll be backstage for that performance.

Prior to the parade I interviewed Michael and he talks about the type of stars out today and who he thinks the real stars are (they wear blue jackets even in the searing heat).

By the way, in case you’re wondering about using YouTube, consider this. Last year I posted a video of Tanya Tucker competing in the Michael Peterson/New Holland Celebrity Tractor Race and it’s been downloaded almost 13,000 times since then! She’s back this year and I will videotape it.
