(audience cheering) - I'm Phil Vassar, I'm your host for the 2022 Musicians Hall of Fame induction ceremony and concert, thank you, right here in Music City at the historic Nashville Municipal Auditorium.

Isn't this great?

t's a beautiful setup, right?

It's great.

(audience cheering) We remind you each year, but we never tire of repeating it, come see what you have heard, the motto of the Musicians Hall of Fame, a place to preserve and ensure the legacy of everything music for the future.

We used to just enjoy listening to music, but today we have favorite lyrics or musical riffs that stick with us and allow us to pick out tunes by the same artists and writers.

Now we've become aware of the behind-the-scenes folks it takes to make the music, from the actual instruments and the craftsmen, to the equipment used to record it.

It's all here at the Musicians Hall of Fame.

And if you've never been here, you gotta come see this.

It's amazing, it blows my mind.

You know, you used to just listen.

Now you can see what you've heard.

Now these are the people that we honor tonight, a most prestigious honor for the member of the induction class of 2022.

And to present our first inductee, we welcome a lady that has done everything, award-winning success as a solo artist, band leader, musician, duet partner, background vocalist, songwriter, and interpreter of others' compositions.

So please welcome Emmylou Harris.

(audience cheering) - Thank you, thank you Phil.

It really is an honor for me to present a person who is more than just a Grammy award-winning recording engineer, and he is definitely one.

In a career that spans five decades, and more than 400 record albums, he also founded his own laboratory, GML, and presented the audio world of studio recording with parametric equalization.

I'm not sure I know what that is, but I know that it's something really good.

Now the mixers and record engineers can have reaction to loudness that works like their ears rather than voltage levels.

So let's take a look at the first class of 2022 inductee, my friend George Massenburg.

(audience cheering) (bright upbeat funk music) ♪ Do you remember the 21st night of September ♪ ♪ Love was changing the minds ♪ - [Interviewer] George Massenburg seems to take the same intense approach to his electronics as you put into your music.

How did you two get together?

- I met George through Lowell George, who was the lead guitarist with Little Feat.

But it was the beginning of a great relationship, because I was so particular about everything I did musically, and the same with him electronically.

But he has made a great contribution to my life, you know, in many ways.

You know, and I'm so happy to be here tonight, because George Massenburg and I first met 51 years ago when we first stepped in a studio together, and back at a time when neither of us knew where our paths would lead or what the future would hold.

But I've, so grateful for his friendship and to be able to collaborate with him over the years, especially we ended up in the studio with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt for that trio project.

(audience cheering) He's a man with of infinite patience (chuckling), and so I'm so pleased and honored that it is myself who is the first person to say congratulations to George Massenburg for being inducted into the 2022 Musicians Hall of Fame.

(audience cheering) - That was good.

Unbelievable, thanks so much.

When I'd heard I was to be inducted in the Musicians Hall of Fame, I didn't really know what to make of it, but I'm sure honored to be here.

I've been in love with music since early on.

I've been in love with the work of recording for as long.

It's work that's unpredictable and joyful, and difficult, but always interesting.

Musicians have endured great pain in the re-imagining of the modern music recording business over the last couple of decades, nonetheless demonstrating that authenticity in musical personality grows around adversity, like roots grow around a rock.

Musicians are a beacon of awareness and light in a world that threatens to extinguish all of it.

I'm honored to be in your presence, and thank you very much.

Cheers everybody, and thank you Emmy.

(audience cheering) - You know, before we continue with our class of 2022 inductions, we welcome a virtuoso bassist known from Nashville to London and beyond, elected to a three-year term as president of the Nashville Musicians Association, AFN local number 257, in 2008.

He continues to hold that office today, and is also an international executive board member of the American Federation of Musicians.

Ladies and gentlemen, the amazing Dave Pomeroy.

(audience cheering) - Good evening, I'm honored to be here tonight to speak on behalf of Nashville musicians, and all AFM members across the US and Canada.

One floor below us is a museum like no other.

The Musicians Hall of Fame is a unique institution that celebrates the musicians behind the stars.

Slowly but surely, it has become a magnet for real music fans all over the world, but this amazing place would not exist if it were not for one man, Joe Chambers.

(audience cheering) Yeah.

The AFM has been involved with the museum since the beginning, and it was Joe's idea to give AFM members the ability to nominate musicians for induction into the Hall.

It has been an honor for us to be part of this process that leads to memorable nights like these.

(audience cheering) - [Phil] Please welcome legendary arranger for Elvis, Dolly, Garth, Reba, Cash and Ray Stevens and many more, Mr. Bergen White.

(audience applauding) - Ray moved to Nashville in 1962 with high hopes of becoming a studio musician, and he did quite well at that.

So well he was playing on everyone's sessions, and it was just a busy, busy time.

And somewhere along the way he lost his way and he became a celebrity.

(audience laughing) A reluctant celebrity, I might add, but also a highly enthusiastic musician.

He traveled all over the world, entertaining.

But you know, the thing that excites Ray the most to this day is going into the studio with a bunch of musicians.

And you know, right here in this room full of fabulous musicians is where he might actually be able to find his peer group.

And you know, finding your peer group is a difficult thing, particularly when you're a genius.

- [Narrator] He was born Harold Ray Ragsdale, January the 24th, 1939 in Clarkdale, Georgia, a little self-contained mill town community, where everyone lived, worked, played, prayed, and shopped together.

Clarkdale had a hot baseball team, and Ray's dad Harold was the strong right arm at third base, and a power hitter at the plate.

Ray wanted to be a baseball player too, but his mom Frances insisted that homework and piano lessons had to come first.

Let's all give a big round of applause for Mrs. Ragsdale.

One day while practicing the Marine hymn, young Ray had an epiphany.

He stopped, leaned back, looked at the keyboard and said, "Oh I see," and he did.

In that moment, he shared the vision the creator of the keyboard had, he got it.

He saw how it all worked.

It was a gift, and he rode that gift from Clarkdale to Albany, Georgia, where he had his first band, the Barons, and he was the co-host of a teen music radio show.

Then he went on to Atlanta where he had his first records, and to Nashville where he had his first hit records.

He came to Nashville to be a session man, to play and sing on musical recordings where the hits were being made.

He signed on to work for Shelby Singleton with Jerry Kennedy at Monument Records for $50 a week, and all the sessions he could play on.

He worked for Shelby, Fred Foster, Chet Atkins, and Owen Bradley.

He played piano and organ, sang back up as a substitute Jordanaire often, or he would just do all the parts himself.

He played on hundreds of sessions, with all the A-team players, Boots Randolph, Harold Bradley, Grady Martin, Buddy Harmon, and Charlie McCoy.

He and Charlie even played twin trumpets on an Elvis session, and one day Chet called him in just to sing the high harmony part with Waylon on his recording of, "You Got the Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line".

He played on almost everyone's session until he recorded his own first big hit, and then another, and another, and another, until he was given a chance to host "The Andy Williams Summer Show" on NBC television.

He wrote the theme song for that show.

♪ Everything is beautiful in its own way ♪ - [Narrator] That became a Grammy-winning worldwide sensation, and his days of being a session man for anyone but himself were over.

He also won another Grammy for "Misty" for the arrangement of the year, and received nominations for 11 others.

Ray Stevens is known as a recording artist, TV host, music publisher, record and video platinum sales, and multiple Grammy Award winner, a member of the Georgia Music, Nashville Songwriters and Country Music Halls of Fame, as well as recognition as a Nashville Cat, an honored Nashville studio musician award.

He is also the owner of his own performance venue, the Cabaret Showroom in Nashville.

Now he's being inducted into the Nashville Musicians Hall of Fame, and the circle is complete.

Ray Stevens joins the ranks of the others who are first in class, an all time A-team player, best of the best, all titles that are well deserved.

- I'll never live up to that.

(audience cheering) Hey, I'd like to sing a song now that I, I call my (sighing), magical accident, because we were in the studio one day, my band and I, rehearsing for a TV show we were gonna shoot the next day.

And during a break in that rehearsal, we started clowning around with an old jazz blues standard that had up until that time, only been done with a big orchestra.

And we were doing it with a banjo and a fiddle and a steel guitar.

We weren't making fun of it, we were just having fun with it.

But it started sounding so good, I said we were rehearsing in a studio, but the engineer wasn't there.

But I called him, he was home mowing the lawn, and he came in and we cut this thing in two takes.

And that's kind of unheard of because it usually takes more than two takes, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and the second takes sounded good to me.

Anyway, it came out that year and won a Grammy for the best arrangement of the year.

Maybe you heard it.

Anyway, give 'em hell, Chuck.

(electronics beeping) Hello everyone, this is your action news reporter with all the news that is news across the nation.

Ethel was in there getting her a cold drink.

I hollered in there, I said, "Don't look, Ethel!"

But she done been mooned.

I mean she was mooned, that old boy took her picture, with his Brownie.

I don't even think it had any film in it, I'll tell you that.

I hollered back to Ethel, I said, "Don't look, Ethel!"

But it was too late, she done got a free shot.

Well he grandstanded her, right in front of the home team.

- Raymond?

- Welcome to the Musicians Hall of Fame.

- Well, thank you Bergen.

Thank you, thank you so much.

(audience cheering) Oh, thank you.

I just wanna say this is almost perfect, and the only thing we need to make it perfect would be to have Joe Chambers here with us tonight.

(audience cheering) We miss you Joe, thank you.

- With hits like "Gangster of Love", "Space Cowboy", and, ♪ Fly like an eagle ♪ and ♪ Take the money and run ♪ All these great songs, and you're said to have owned 450 guitars.

Well, we imagine that's why you share them.

You're here and you need to be.

Y'all, welcome to Nashville, Mr. Steve Miller.

(audience cheering) - Well, good evening everyone, it's a pleasure to be here.

I can't believe the talent I'm seeing tonight.

And Ray Stevens, I think he, he kinda maybe, he was the guy who inspired "The Joker", I'm not sure.

But I'm here to honor and praise Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives.

(audience cheering) Yeah, hi Superlatives.

(laughing) And I just wanna say that with Marty and the Superlatives, they're unbelievably talented musicians.

They're gentlemen, they're generous friends, and an inspiration to anyone who hears them play.

So please welcome Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives.

(audience cheering) (mystical guitar music) - My mom played piano at church.

My buddy Butch Hodgins down the street, his mama showed me three chords on the guitar, "Tiger by the Tail", G-C-D, which, you know, into the world of country music that can get you.

(upbeat country music) I knew that that train that ran behind our house, I didn't wanna go to New York or Hollywood.

I wanted to go to Nashville and put on those kind of clothes and play Fender guitars and Martin guitars, and get on a country music bus and do that.

Lester Flatt, I stayed with Lester in his band from 1972 to '79 when he passed away.

- So Superlatives, I love that band.

- The Superlatives, I'd done this, I'd toured from '72 to like '99.

And then I saw Kenny Vaughn on TV one night playing with Lucinda Williams, and I don't know who that guy is, but he reminds me of Luther Perkins that played with Johnny Cash.

And he's an odd duck and I love him, and I forgot to watch Lucinda, sorry Lucinda but, and watched Kenny the whole time.

Ran into him a few weeks later.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing."

I said, "Let's talk about it."

So we got together, and Harry and I had worked together a lot on a lot of records.

And so when Kenny and I broke camp that day, I said, "I'll find us a drummer, you find us a bass player."

And from the first rehearsal at this little church rehearsal studio in Charlotte, I knew that there was something different about the band.

It wasn't about chasing three-minute hits up and down Music Row anymore, it was way beyond that.

And it didn't take me long to understand that we were cultural mercenaries or missionaries or whatever.

And now Chris Scruggs, and so still Kenny and Harry, and with Mick Conley, our engineer.

It's been an incredible band to be a part of, so proud of it.

(bright upbeat music) (audience cheering) We wanna do a song in honor of Mr. Joe Chambers.

All right, Linda, this is for you honey.

(audience cheering) - I'd like to thank everybody I've worked with over the years, everybody who's ever hired me for a session or a gig, or just wanted to sit with me and play on the porch, it doesn't matter to me.

It's all the same, and it means everything to me.

I'd like to thank Katherine Looney for bringing my favorite musician though into this world, and he's here tonight too.

He's eight years old, he's my son, and this is for you Ben Scruggs, thank you so much.

- All right, I left college in 1971 after about a year, I knew it wasn't my path.

And one of the promises I made to myself at that time was to always be in a band with pickers that are better than you.

And I can say this, that after 22 years with Marty and Kenny, Chris and Mick, that holds true today.

So I wanna thank you guys for all the support, and I wanna thank the Musicians Hall of Fame, because this is a special honor tonight being inducted into this Hall in this city with the best players in the world, thank you very much.

(audience cheering) - I'd like to thank my wildly talented and beautiful wife, Carmela Ramsey.

And in addition to being a great singer-songwriter instrumentalist, she's also the world's greatest mom.

And I have my daughter, Velvet Vaughn, my daughter Talia Vaughn, my daughter Gianna Vaughn here tonight, as well as my baby sister, Laura Fick, who has supported me all these years, thank you.

(audience cheering) - Well, since we have everybody assembled here, I'd like to play you my newest demo that I just wrote.

It's not the final mix.

I got a couple molecules to move around.

Anyway, oh the tape broke?

Okay, we won't do that.

So anyway, I wanna thank Marty, all the guys, what a fabulous and superlative bunch of guys to be on the road with and in the studio with, and it's been an education and a whole lotta laughs.

Thank you guys, and thank you.

(audience cheering) - We used to, down in Mississippi where I grew up, Philadelphia, Mississippi, there was a two-lane highway that ran in front of our house.

It was called Highway 19, Kosciusko Road.

And when I got my first Fender guitar, I'd put it on my shoulder and I'd walk up and down our neighborhood hoping somebody'd see me with my Fender guitar.

I just wanted somebody to know that I was a guitar player.

I still do that.

(laughing) (audience laughing) - Whoo!

- It was 1968, the summer of 1968.

I was at my aunt's house and I heard this voice say, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash," then I heard a familiar ♪ Da da da da, da dow ♪ and the crowd went crazy and I didn't know what I was listening to, but it was the "Live at Folsom Prison" record by Johnny Cash.

And downstairs, I don't know how Joe Chambers did that, but he got Luther Perkins' Esquire that he played that lick on.

That guitar, the sound of the guitar lit everything inside of me up.

And I started my first band when I was nine.

And I just wanted to be in a band that played our own songs, but we were also the correspondents and reminders for our heroes, and that's what we do right here in this band.

That's what we're all about.

(audience applauding) And there was life, there was musical life before the Superlatives and Mick, and there's life after the music of the Superlatives and Mick.

And I love what I do, and I get to go home with Connie tonight, how about that?

So there you go, thank you all very much.

(audience cheering) Thank you again, Steve.

- He says his biggest break came when Joe Walsh invited him to join his band Barnstorm, and it was Joe who was responsible for his involvement with the fretless bass, and probably a lot of other things.

Joe received one of the very first fretless P basses and gave it to him.

You know, he said he was intimidated at first, but he eventually made it his trademark.

The session work poured in, and then he co-wrote "Rocky Mountain Way" with Joe Walsh.

Following Joe came Elton John, Hall and Oates, Dan Fogelberg, and tonight he's here with us in Nashville, ladies and gentlemen, Kenny Passarelli.

(audience cheering) - Thank you, Phil.

Saying that he's a music producer, manager, musician, writer, director, studio owner, doesn't begin to cover it.

His break, Allen Klein calls, Jimmy becomes the guitar player for Chad and Jeremy, and of course he wrote one of their hits.

Next he became a CBS staff producer, the Buckinghams his first project, in the summer of '67.

These guys had more AM play than the Beatles.

But what Jimmy brought to the Buckinghams and to rock and roll was horns, with eight tracks to do it.

That's what caught Clive Davis' attention.

He tapped Jimmy to produce Blood, Sweat, and Tears.

Where was Blood, Sweat and Tears at the time?

Lead singer and founder Al Cooper had walked.

So Jimmy found David Clayton Thomas, and produced Grammy-winning album of the year.

What can I say?

I guess I can say he bought Caribou Ranch in 1971, and proceeded to create the first and best destination studio in the world, recording home of 178 artists, 18 Grammys, 45 number ones.

And just to keep himself busy, he wrote and directed and produced "Electra Glide in Blue" and made Robert Blake a star again.

And now I have run out of time to talk about Fire Sign Theater, Moondog and Country Music TV.

And so to my dear friend James William Guercio, congratulations on your well-deserved induction to Music Hall of Fame too.

(bright upbeat music) - So the first opportunity was "Don't You Care".

I wrote all the charts and did it one night, came in the next morning, that was it.

♪ Hey baby, they're playing our song ♪ ♪ The one we used to hear when we used to get along ♪ - And you always had a love for the horns then.

So it was kind of a natural for you to do- - Oh yeah.

- Chicago.

(bright expectant pop music) Did you start MCMT television here, or what happened?

- Yeah, I didn't take any credit for that.

It was, (chuckling) it was a big part of my life and others.

Yeah, but I'm real proud of that, because how would you like to own a 24-hour country channel when your entire library's 32 videos?

When I sold CMT I went to Montana.

- Is it true that they hit oil on your property?

- They hit a lot of natural gas- - Oh, gas.

- And now it's coming back.

- Well, plus water.

- I think there's- - You know, water was a big issue.

- Yeah, the environmentalists think I'm pro-energy.

The energy guys think I'm a green maniac.

So I created a water management bill.

- It's amazing, from music to what Jim's done.

- I know it, yeah, yeah.

- It's a different song.

I'm really here in honor to my son, who died a few months ago.

But that's how I know, that's how I got to meet Joe, through my son.

There was a piano at Caribou that Elton John wrote, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me", "Philadelphia Freedom", "Island Girl".

John Lennon came up, they did the "Lucy In the Sky".

What's the Kiki Dee tune?

- "Don't Go Breaking My Heart".

- "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", great songs.

And Joe wanted that piano, Joe wanted that piano here, and my son helped him put the Caribou deal together here.

And there's something I'd like to say about Joe.

He loved the players, he loved the engineers, he loved the producers.

There wasn't anybody in the process that he didn't respect, and that's what came through to me.

And so I just, I just wanna say I'm really grateful to be here, and really appreciate this opportunity with all these guys.

I love this country and I love the great people of the state of Tennessee, especially Nashville.

(audience cheering) - They're a country acapella group that won the fourth season of NBC's musical competition show "The Sing Off" in 2013.

Currently they're touring with our next inductee, and I'm proud to be here with him tonight, right now to present this honor.

Please welcome Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, Tim Faust and Adam Chance, "Home Free".

- Thank you so much.

Last year we had the unbelievable honor of recording and releasing a new viral version of "American Pie" with Don McLean.

But of course, like everyone here, we started out as fans of Don's work.

He's a musician's musician and a lyricist's lyricist.

Let's take a look at Don's journey.

♪ A long, long time ago ♪ - Elvis Presley made me wanna play.

My dad was about as straight and conservative and reserved as some kind of farmer businessman would be.

There was no room in his life for anything artistic.

But the funny thing was, I said, "Can I get a baritone ukulele, 'cause it's almost like a guitar?"

He said, "Why don't you go all away and get a guitar?"

(laughing) So actually my father is the one who got me to take that step, even though he, I'm sure he regretted it later, because it took over my whole life.

♪ Fortune has me well in hand ♪ ♪ Armies wait at my command ♪ ♪ My gold lies in a foreign land ♪ ♪ Buried deep beneath the sand ♪ Everything that I did when I started out had to be played off the guitar, and that continued on pretty much.

And then I realized that I was in this world where I could do anything I wanted to do.

I could have strings, I could have voices, I could have nothing.

You know, I could have all sorts of stuff.

♪ But February made me shiver ♪ ♪ With every paper I'd deliver ♪ ♪ Bad news on the doorstep ♪ ♪ I couldn't take one more step ♪ - When Buddy Holly died, I went, he'd already been off the charts for two years.

I went in and I was upset for a month.

And kids said, "So what?"

Nobody cared.

He was rock and roll, and rock and roll was nothing.

Rock and roll was folderol.

Rock and roll was silliness for kids.

It wasn't something anybody took seriously.

- Don McLean, welcome to the Musicians Hall of Fame.

- Thank you.

(audience cheering) Thank you very much.

I just wanna say a few words.

Of course Joe Chambers did that interview, which ended up being three parts on YouTube.

And I'd seen him do many other interviews.

I didn't even know what I was doing when I came here, and I saw him, I said, "I know you."

And so we had this wonderful interview.

I saw him do an interview with Ray Edenton, and I'm just gonna quickly go back and tell you something.

I'm not, you know, I'm not folk and I'm not rock and I'm not country, I'm just me.

And I'm kind of a guy who invents songs, you know?

I have these ideas and I put all this stuff together that I know.

I always loved folk music and early rock and roll and popular music, and I love, I know probably every song Johnny Cash ever sang, so there's this country thing in there as well.

But I don't really belong anywhere.

And that's why Nashville became kinda home to me in 1978, because I came here to record with Larry Butler.

And when I walked into the studio, there were the Jordanaires and Bob Moore and all these guys, and I knew all of them, 'cause I know all the Elvis songs, and I know the whole history of that.

In those days when you walked into a studio and you saw those guys looking back at you, you'd better have something, 'cause they'd seen it all.

So thank you for accepting me and thank you for giving this honor, it means a great deal to me.

And it's nice to find a home for what I do.

And thank you, thank you very much.

(audience cheering) - He's been described as an icon among giants.

A member of Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, his storytelling lyrics sung with a dusty Texas twang create familiar hooks that linger in your mind.

It's been said more than once, your favorite song was probably written by Rodney Crowell.

(audience cheering) - When I first met 19-year-old Vince Gill at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, he'd just finished singing a song of mine so beautifully that I was rendered nearly speechless.

I did crack wise by asking him who he thought he was, singing my song so much better than me.

But the real takeaway from that moment was a gradual realization that I just stumbled onto one of the most talented individuals of my generation.

(audience cheering) (upbeat country rock music) - I've played all through those young years.

I played, I took violin lessons for a few years in grade school.

Took some piano lessons from a little old woman down the street, and kinda steered myself more towards the guitar, and played in little bands, little rock bands.

And then when I was probably a sophomore, I got involved in bluegrass and joined a young band called Mountain Smoke in high school, and that led to my first record, which was about 1974, I think, and the die was cast.

I knew I didn't want to go to college.

♪ Na na na, na na na na ♪ - And then I finished high school, and this group from Louisville, called the Bluegrass Alliance called and asked me if I would be interested in, there was a position that opened up, they needed a lead singer, guitar player and I said, "Sure."

Then I started playing with Ricky's band, Ricky Skaggs had a band.

And this was long before he started making solo records.

And that didn't work out, there wasn't any gigs, and they let me go, and that's when I moved to California.

And that's when I started doing some sessions, and then I stumbled into the Pure Prairie League gig in late '78, did that for three years.

You know, one of the first sessions was, sat down and played my part and played my solo, and somebody gets on the talk back and said, "That was good, let's try it again.

This time just play me half of what you know."

I said, "Oh okay, point taken."

And it's interesting, over the last 45 years, you know, I've worked on a thousand artists' records in my career, and something I'm proud of.

'cause that's what I wanted to do, way more so than be an artist.

I wanted to be the session guy.

- So Eagles.

- I mean, pretty good exit.

(laughing) Pretty good last gig.

What in the heck?

I mean, it's mind-blowing.

Every night I'm sitting up there playing these songs going, "Oh, there's 'New Kid in Town', oh there's 'Lyin' Eyes', oh there's, 'I Can't Tell You Why', oh there's," you know it's just like, you know, I asked Don early on when we first started doing this, I said, "What's the first song you and Glenn ever wrote?"

And he smiled and he said, "Desperado."

And I said, "I don't believe it."

I said, "You didn't write a half a dozen lame songs?"

He goes, "No, that's the first song we ever wrote together."

It was meant to be.

- Welcome to the Musician's Hall of Fame.

- Thank you, Rodney.

- Yeah, you're all about it.

(audience cheering) - Whoo, thank you.

What Rodney did for me was he gave me that confidence that I don't know that I'd ever had until that point.

You know, I was the kinda kid that grew up listening to the records, you know, and finding out who played on them, who produced them, who wrote the songs.

I was never the guy standing in the mirror with a hairbrush, thinking he was Elvis.

You know, I loved Elvis, but I wanted to know, what the hell is Scotty Moore doing to do that?

You know, or James Burton or whoever it turned out to be.

And then it was Don Rich.

And when Rodney hired me, I finally got to fulfill that dream of what I'd always wanted to do, and that was support somebody else.

I never dreamed about being an artist.

You know, that came later, songs came later.

And I don't really believe that I set out to be an artist.

I just set out to be one of these guys.

That's where I feel the most comfortable.

And to this day, that gig of playing with Rodney and getting to pretend that I was Don Rich, and singing the high harmonies, and playing a lotta lead guitar, man, that was as good as it's ever gotten.

And it's, I think about my favorite, favorite thing I've ever gotten to do.

And I went on to do a lotta sessions, and work with a lotta people.

And that meant a lot to me that I got hired, because I was one of those guys that, like I said, I read those jackets and I said, "Man, I wanna be one of those guys that they hire to sing and play on stuff."

And even after I started having a tremendous amount of success on my own, I never quit doing sessions.

I wanted to be one of these guys.

And everybody would say, "Well, you've made it.

You're killing it, why in the hell would you wanna, why would you wanna go do that?"

I said, "Because it's harder."

(audience cheering) What we get to do up here is so remarkable to me.

Often people say, "What's it like?"

I say, "Well, it's the place where the word democracy finally gets to live up to its meaning."

Because we gather around and we have a song, and we gather around and we circle around that song, and we do what's best for that song.

We don't do what's best for each other.

We don't care who gets the lion's share of the credit, who gets the ideas, who has the most great licks.

We all serve that song, and to be in a business like this with musicians like this and all of you, it's the greatest gift.

All I've ever wanted to do in my life was be seen as a musician.

And after doing it for almost 60 years, this is a great validation for finally being seen as I've always seen myself, God bless.

(audience cheering) - He's a member of the Grand Ole Opry, the Musicians Hall of Fame, the Kentucky Hall of Fame, and also the National Thumb Pickers Hall of Fame.

And one of only five guitar players in the whole world given the Certified Guitar Player CGP Award by Chet Atkins himself, ladies and gentlemen, my brother Steve Warner.

(audience cheering) - Man landing on the moon, the Berlin Wall coming down, 9/11, we all know where we were.

Well I know where I was when I heard my first ZZ Top record, and it was their first album.

Noblesville Indiana, right down there on Maple Street.

My brother Dave brought in their album, raving about these boys from down in Texas.

And we put it on and listened, and then we said, "Damn."

Deep, deep grooves, unique, different, smart, cool songs.

And then you look at the album cover, the art, and then you go, "Damn."

(chuckling) And as they say, cooler than the other side of the pillow.

Billy Gibbons, a master using guitars, Strats, Teles, Les Pauls, Gretches, and a plethora of amplifiers, you know, kinda like a painter uses colors from their palettes, and that tone.

I was lucky enough to be with Billy just a few nights ago, and Billy said to me, he said, "Brother, it's all about the tone.

Simple is where it's at."

Well, he said that yesterday.

"Simple is where it's at," you know?

And you know, and that really is true.

And knowing that you can mash the pedal down though, as simple as it might be, but being able to mash the pedal down anytime you wanted to, like Billy, must be a pretty powerful feeling, you know, knowing that you can do that.

Billy's the creator of several, let me start that one over, 'cause I'm gonna say Billy F Gibbons is the creator of several of the most iconic riffs of any guitar player on the planet, riffs that are ridiculously hooky and memorable, but also simply irresistible.

And as cool as Billy is, and that cool factor is, like really, extremely high, right?

But once you're around him, you realize that truly he's as nice and kind as he is cool.

♪ Yeah ♪ - When the playing began, we knew that there was something that that seemed to feel right, it was a logical magnetism.

Even though I started playing about when I was 13, my troubles didn't really start until I met these guys.

(lively blues rock music) - The first time I heard Billy play, and this was long after his band The Moving Sidewalks had been very big in Houston and Texas, and Dusty and my band, The American Blues, had been big up around Dallas-ways, that both made records and everything.

But I'd never seen Billy play.

And the first time I saw him play, it was like the feeling of finding someone that was like a missing, you didn't know they were missing until you saw them, and then you thought, "Wow."

(lively blues rock music) - We've all known each other through the Texas connection.

And it was instantaneous.

(lively blues rock music) We played for, oh half a day, and went and got some sleep, came back, played another half a day, went out and got some Mexican food, played on into that night.

And it's been going for quite a while now.

(audience cheering) - Oh yeah, thank you, thank you, what a pleasure.

This is kind of a unexpected surprise.

I got a phone call and they said, "You're gonna go up Tuesday night, aren't you?

The Musicians Hall of Fame?"

I said, "Well what's," "All your pals, all your heroes are gonna be there giving out trophies.

They even got one, one for guitar riff."

And I said, "Yeah wow, who's that?"

And they said, "It's you."

And they said, "And you can wear your shiny suit."

I went, "All right."

But it's really a pleasure to be up here with everybody here in town and especially all my pals here.

Killer band right here, I'm telling you.

Thank you Steve, thank you guys.

Can I give this to you?

'Cause I think we got something else we can do.

- I think so.

- Are y'all ready?
