Backstage at the CMA's

Greetings from the press room.

The way these things work, we have nothing to do the first 2 hours of the show... and then get slammed the last 15 minutes.

I have a show rundown... Rascal Flatts opening AND closing the night. And the light bulb just went off in my head... Rascal Flatts... Lyric Street... CMA's on ABC... it's one big Disney family.

Carrie Underwood fans (are you still out there?) -- be tuned in at the top of the 8pm (central) hour and again around 8:45 after Keith Urban sings.

Kimberly Williams Paisley does NOT get to introduce her husband. Brad has special guests -- in addition to the Brentwood High School marching band. Watch for it around 7:30.

Jay Thomas is live on Highway 16 with the play by play, and my backstage audio. I have a webcam, I just haven't figured out how to use it.

Right now I'm watching red carpet arrivals via closed circuit. The women look awesome - Taylor Swift... LeAnn Rimes. Just saw Kid Rock & Gretchen Wilson arrive.

How the hell did they turn down a Garth via satellite performance? Whoever did that should lose their job.

The Eagles should be there. You'd find it harder to find artists who weren't influenced by them then who was.

As for the others, I totally agree.

Loved the marching band dude dancing on stage at the end of Brad's performance - the kid was hysterical!

But most of the performances, well..........lets just hope the sound was better in the arena than on TV.

watch tape delay (west coast). Loved Taylor Swift and Brad's performance was a hoot!
