If you meet Vince Gill, he'll tell you that he's normal - "painfully normal," to be specific. But, there's nothing average about this storytelling, multiple-Grammy-Award-winning country musician.

It's easy to see how the whole world could fall in love with this kind gentle gifted man.

@joebowers3636 5 жыл бұрын

I ran into Vince Gill at Rudy's Guitars in NYC last fall. I was nervous to talk to him, but I decided I would. I went up to him and told him I loved his guitar playing. He shook my hand, asked my name, and then folded his arms, as if he was settling in for a long conversation. We chatted about other guitarists we like. He did not have to do that. I'm sure it's a conscious decision on his part to treat people who come up to him with respect. Taught me a good lesson to always give people your time, courtesy and respect.

We all love you Vince. You really never know what is around the corner. We lost our son who you make me think of when I see you sing. We were lucky to have him for 28 years. Love to watch you. If you get a chance and see this, check out a young guitarist, Taj Farrant. He plays with emotion. He is a rising star from Australia. My sister Libby Roberts knew and loved Merle. She was his fan club President for years.

To me, Vince Gill and Ricky Skaggs are two of the greatest musicians in my time. They are very talented with instruments, have amazing vocals, and they are down to earth humble guys. I saw Vince at a small concert in a park in Modesto in the early 1990s, I never saw Ricky perform, but Vince was my moms favorite and when I hear his songs, it reminds me of mom.

Vince has more talent in his little finger than most will have in their entire life.. but he's a humble, grateful person. I've seen Vince eating at Noshville, he's polite and unassuming, if you didn't know who he was, you would just think he's a regular guy. PLUS he's a Predators fan!!!

@balan2419 7 жыл бұрын

You know, in reality, he is just a regular guy and would rather be thought of that way. If he ever had a celebrity complex, he outgrew it. I met him a few years ago, and we became friends, and he is the genuine article - no put on, humble, gracious, and when he talks to you he talks to you. One of the best men I know. After my wife was killed in Oct of 2016, he invited me to their Christmas show, called me by name from the stage, and dedicated Go Rest High On That Mountain to me and my recently deceased wife. What a guy. One of the best men I know. Byron Merritt.

Decent human I was struck by the authentic compassion he had during George Jones funeral. He made it OK to feel the sorrow that we all had for that good person that we all lost. I don't know him but a person who I would like to meet. I believe he is the Christian example of what it may be like to meet Jesus. Now I'm not saying that he is Jesus. I'm just saying that in today's society it is not ok to be moved to tears.i just see compassion in him that is not seen. So I say look at the video of Vince and patty loveless at George Jones funeral for reference. Thank you Vince Gill for the music and your message.

Hi Michael, my wife and I got to meet Vince after a great concert here in Westhampton Beach, NY back in 2013. As you might expect he was the nicest, kindest person you would ever hope to see. He had played for almost 3 hours with his great band and yet, came out to sign autographs and have photos taken even though he looked so tired. A wonderful time!
