Last year when Joe Diffie came around, I had only worked at Nash for six weeks, so I didn’t realize that the big country stars don’t come around to talk with us in person quite as much in Peoria, so the fact that Joe Diffie was gracious enough to come in AGAIN to be interviewed, was awesome!

He’s literally the nicest guy. His personality fits RIGHT into Peoria! You could pass him on the street and have no idea he’s had a ton of country music hits, or that he has won prestigious awards like Grammys and ACM awards.

Now last year, I may have accidentally messed up his St. Jude Benefit show… the jury is still out on whose fault it actually was. Listen to the story in the clip below, and then you decide!
