  Tyler Farr recalls touring the Grand Ole Opry before he dreamed of singing country music. (:23)
“My mom showed me this picture when I was like 14 or 15. We took a trip to Nashville, and we toured the Opry, and they have a little thing where you can get up and get your picture taken with the Grand Ole Opry mic and stuff, and I’m about 14 and have, like, sunglasses on, lookin’ like a cool kid holdin’ this guitar. And so, it’s kind of funny. I had no idea I’d be singin’ country music then. It’s kind of funny how that worked out, though.”
