“I cherished doing that present. There’s a pair previous pine bushes on the lot that appear like Tennessee. Tex and I might go on the market in the course of the day and he’d maintain his enterprise and we’d stretch and I’d suppose how a lot I missed Tennessee. On that given day, Firerose got here out of the entrance door.”

He was struck at first sight by the younger girl’s… expertise:

“There was nearly a second of, I don’t know, recognition. I used to be like, ‘This lady’s a star.’”

He was married to Tish Cyrus on the time and stayed married one other decade, however certain, inform that story like we’re supposed to search out it romantic…

Firerose in fact knew precisely who the Achy Breaky Coronary heart singer was as she grew up on his music. She instructed the magazine:

Billy Ray stated she got here as much as pet the canine they usually received to speaking:

No matter she was auditioning for she didn’t get it. However Billy Ray discovered a place for her:

“I simply thought, properly, the casting brokers, the producers, the writers, they’re all on the ground of the place we do Hannah Montana. And I truly stated to her, ‘Don’t ever take an odd man up on this supply, however, on this case, Tex will testify that you’ll be completely protected. I’m going to introduce you to a producer and you’ll form of make your self at dwelling and watch us rehearse and , possibly it would result in a job or simply one other contact at Disney.’ And so, off me and her and Tex went again to the studio and I believe she met quite a lot of the solid and met the producers, writers. And, in some methods, properly, in quite a lot of methods, we turned buddies.”
