Sorry I missed you.

Hey, man.

You made it, man.

You sounded great.

Yeah? 'Cause I don't know.

that many times.

Oh, no, it sounded great.

This is a great room.

I can't remember the last time

I've been to a writer's night.

I'm so glad I came out tonight.

Thanks, man.

What's the deal?

Piano and guitar? Wow.

You like the songs?

Loved the songs.

I liked her songs.

Is this your friend, or...?

Yeah, we've written

a couple songs together.

I'm Wheeler.

I'm Audrey. Nice to meet you.

You were awesome.

Love the songs.

Thank you so much.

I loved your song.

We were about to go

to another bar and get a drink,

get outta here. It's kinda

noisy. You wanna come with us?

Yeah.

I'm ready to get out now.

I'm gonna run to the head.

I'll meet you out front.

I'll meet you out front?

You comin'?

All right, yeah, I'm comin'.

Thank you.

All right.

First concert, Hank Williams Jr.

In the middle of a cow pasture

in the south of Alabama.

Wow!

How about you?

Willie Nelson, 1981,

reunion arena, Dallas.

That's a good one.

I met Willie last year.

Come on!

Oh, I did.

I actually was on Willie's bus.

Get the hell outta here!

And I have to say,

it was the highlight

of my career.

One of the highlights.

Of course it was.

Okay, favorite album.

Ooh. That's hard, man.
