This is my great-uncle, Lawson Bonnette. Lawson is my Papaw's Baby Brother. I've never really gotten to play music with Lawson until this day. Of all the interviews I've done, this one is up there. There is always something special about connecting with family. There is also something magical about playing music with people. Holly and I got to spend that day with Lawson and Marie (Lawson's wife), and it was such a joy. They also came out to one of my performances a couple of weeks after this was recorded and that meant the world.
