The Christmas Present That Shaped Chris Young’s Destiny
Chris Young loves Christmastime, and it was a gift that he received on Christmas Day as a boy that pointed him towards his musical destiny.
Chris told us, “I actually got my first guitar as a Christmas gift. So, that’s one that’s always going to stand out in my mind as a gift that, you know, I picked up and was so excited to have. And, then realized it was going to take me a really long time to learn to play it.”
He added, “But, it’s obviously brought me a lot of joy over the years being able to sit down and kick up an instrument and just sing and play. So, that was pretty special.”
