The latest from Dennis on the streets of Nashville:

"I went to get my credentials for the show and, outside the arena, everyone on the street was doing double takes as a school bus pulled up and unloaded an entire high school marching band! ‘Ummmm, hey kids, did you show up at the wrong place? There’s no high school football game going on at the Sommet Center tonight …’ Well, they were in the right place, because they’ll be onstage tonight to perform Online with Brad Paisley. It’s a funny, quirky song, so the marching band from nearby Brentwood High fits right in. Check out the photo. The tuba player, Alex Levy, 18, says, unlike other country music stars tonight, it only took him a minute to get properly ‘styled’ for the event. But that doesn’t make him any less excited. 'It’s definitely THE musical highlight of my career,' he told me. 'So far, at least.' His folks will be TiVo-ing from home. With Alex, to the left, is Nicole Negrete and, center, Daniel Bradley.
