I very nearly forgot myself!! - as we were flying on Friday for the holidays. Less than an hour before my wife left for the airport, I had her set the DVR (I was at work, and headed to the airport shortly to meet her).

Knock on wood our DVR gets it ok.

We're recording it too.

How much of that music will actually appear during the televised show?  Could it possibly be all of it?

Hope someone can help me see it later. I don't have a TV. Will it be on youtube?

kinda stoked to see it i guess, Wayne and Cher are really deserving but I'm not the only one w/ issues w/ Phillip Glass, right  Hes extremely overrated and respected way more than his music qualifies for, no?  Would Steve Reich of been a better pick----- 

and i dont know a lot about Reba, but my pick would of been Wanda Jackson.
