It's good to be Luke Bryan. He's come a long way since opening up for Gretchen Wilson at the Broome County (Floyd L Maines) Veterans Memorial Arena.

He won Entertainer of the Year at last year's CMA Awards show. He's nominated again this year and will be performing on the show Wednesday night on ABC.

If you're going to be in Nashville for the show then make plans to see his exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. It's in it's final week and will close on Sunday the 8th.

His life and career is on display with a new exhibit. It's called 'Dirt Road Diary.' It has his stage clothes, instruments, award, photos, even his his Little League baseball uniform and glove.

He found the 1st song that he ever wrote and performed at his church. Something spilled on the lyrics, so you can only see half of the words. It also has the handwritten lyrics to his song "I See You."

You'll also see the bow and arrows used by Luke on the Outdoor Channel reality series Buck Commander.

If you go to the Hall, look for Ambassador (a fancy word for tour guide) Jeffrey A. He's a former Hawk jock. Tell him I sent you. No, it won't get you any special deal, but you never know.

You'll have a chance to catch Luke on Thanksgiving. He'll be kicking off the Salvation Army's 125th Red Kettle Campaign. He'll perform from AT&T Stadium during halftime of the Dallas Cowboys game.

The game will be on CBS against Carolina beginning at 3:30. Finally a reason for me to watch the Cowboys play.
