Introducing Scotty McCreery (GAC Video + Q&A)

A few people asked me to put up video from the GAC TV “Introducing Scotty McCreery” Special, so here it is. There’s not much information in here a super-fan wouldn’t know. But, the trip back through Scotty’s childhood, complete with photos and interviews with his family, teachers etc. is pretty fun.

Also, as a bonus, Scotty is in desperate need of a lozenge as he answers fan questions for The Boot.
