Luke Bryan recently made the day of a teenager with Cerebral Palsy. The Florida-based Kids Wish Network did their best to make Emma Lookatch wish to meet Luke come true, and she was supposed to visit him on the set of “American Idol” until the coronavirus canceled those plans. Instead, Luke sent a sweet message to the teen.

“Hey Emma, it’s Luke here,” Luke shared in the video message to Emma. “And I heard you were a big, big fan, and I’m just reaching out saying hey.” He adds, “And I heard you were gonna get the opportunity to come to (American) Idol and meet me, and I’m so sorry how everything kind of got messed up. But I hope to meet you very, very soon, and just know that I love you.”

Emma got to watch the message on the new iPad and Beats by Dre headphones the Kids Wish Network gave her. Judging by the video Emma was thrilled with Luke’s message, noting, “I’ll never forget, this is better than my birthday!”

At the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown, Tim McGraw launched the #DeepCutChallenge on social media, getting his fellow country artists to perform their favorite cover songs. Well, it turns it all started because Tim wanted to get in some more guitar playing time.

“Deep Cuts was fun,” he shares. “How it started, I’m not a great guitar player. I used to play more, but one thing I have done is play a lot more during this time and really got my chops up a little better.”

He adds, “I started sitting around playing all the songs that I was learning when I was in college,” including his first contribution to the challenge, John Schneider’s “Take the Long Way Home.”

“So, I just sat down and started playing it. I said, ‘I think I’m going to record this and just see what happens,” Tim explains. “Then we recorded it and I said, ‘Why don’t we challenge people to do it, and we did and it worked out.”
