    Although Danny is looking hot, hot , hot here, I can tell he is tired. He has been going 100 miles an hour the past 3 weeks and singing multiple times per day.

    I think starting the Sugarland tour may actually be more relaxing for him!

    I’m such a fantard; I love to just listen to his speaking voice, he doesn’t even have to sing :)

    Indigobunting, I always enjoy your fangirliness! Reminds me to keep my priorities straight and not be so serious! He really is cute, and seems relaxed with Brian. It was nice to see some new questions rather than the same ones he usually gets. If Danny gets TOO tired, I could just do his interviews for him, I know all the answers to his usual questions, as I’m sure you do too! But I agree with you, it is nice to listen to him talk.

    Awww. That was the day I was in Nashville and got to see Danny at the Opry.

    Not sure when he squeezed in such a long interview as he performed at both shows, did autograph signings for a couple of hundred people at least an hour before, and even taught a clinic for a bunch of students coming down from a Boston music school. They were thrilled, several of them were tweeting about it that night and sending out pics of Danny and his band at their private clinic.

    No wonder if he was tired, but I think he did get a couple of days off finally before picking up more promo and concerts mid-this week.

    Danny is the energizer bunny, lol.

    Thanks for posting this interview MJ.

    It was really nice to hear Danny speak so poignantly about his life, in such a relaxed setting. So many are so quick to judge him. Yet, I found him to be quite a thoughtful individual.

    I admire him being so forthright about his life. IMO, he really seems to have a high Emotional IQ. Which, will serve him well in life, and in this demanding industry.

    These are just my opinions. Others are welcome to theirs.

    Good for Danny; finally expressing some defiance toward those who cast negative motivation behind his sincere wish to honor his wife and grieve/remember her in the manner that suits him.

    I’m glad he finally came out and basically said “You don’t like me mentioning my beloved wife? So what? Get over it, I’m me and I’m not going to change”.

    Definitely rocking the white vest here; he looks a little operish, quite handsome.

    Thanks for posting these videos. I love his answers concerning how he chooses to preserve Sophia’s memory, and whether he would get married again. Hope indeed, Danny, that you do get time to slow down,:-). The body needs rest every so often.

    I love Danny. He is so easy going and very amicable. That is why I always liked Danny.
