"The Story of a Life with Strings Attached"
Brad Paisley is one of country music's leading men--admired as a
recording artist, a performer, a songwriter, and a guitar slinger.
This was not always so. In "Diary of a Player," Paisley for the
first time fully retraces his entire musical and personal journey
to date. And it all began with a loving grandfather who gave
eight-year-old Brad Douglas Paisley a Sears Danelectro guitar--the
Christmas gift that would alter Brad's life forever. In Brad's own
words, we read his emotional tribute to his late great "Papaw,"
Warren Jarvis, who sparked his dream come true:
"When I was eight I got a gift from my grandpa. No coincidence that
around that time I also got an identity. See, no matter how I have
changed, learned, and evolved as a person, the guitar has been a
major part of it, and really the only constant. A crutch, a shrink,
a friend, love interest, parachute, flying machine, soapbox,
canvas, liability, investment, jackpot, tease, a sage, a gateway,
an addiction, a recovery, a temptress, a church, a voice, veil,
armor, and lifeline. My grandpa knew it could be many of these
things for me, but mostly he just wanted me to never be alone. He
said if I learned to play, anything would be manageable, and life
would be richer. You can get through some real tough moments with
that guitar on your knee. When life gets intense, there are people
who drink, who seek counseling, eat, or watch TV, pray, cry, sleep,
and so on. I play."
