Even with all his unbelievable success, Vince Gill still pinches himself. "I would be doing this no matter what," he says. From playing with Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, and Keith Richards, Vince is still looking for the next surprise. "I really don't want to know how the movie ends." This week the fellas head over to Vince's house to record an episode that has been years in the making. Vince talks about that one time he opened for KISS, when he caught his daughter trying to sneak some boys into a sleepover in middle school, and what it's like to join the band that inspired you as a teenager.
