Now, at the age of 80, Larry remains confident that he did the right thing. But he can't help wondering what "might have been".

This is where the story of "Paper Promises" really begins, as Larry's now-grown son Shane decides to give his dad one hell of a Father's Day present. You see, Shane Harvey had this crazy idea that maybe ... just maybe ... at the age of 80, his dad could sing and play again. Somewhere, somehow.

So father and son started rehearsing, and it sounded pretty good. They visited one of Larry's old haunts, just to say that Larry had hit the stage again. And it kept getting better and better.

In fact, Shane wondered why his dad had never played on Country Music's most famous stage ... because after all, at some point, just about everyone on that list had performed at the Ryman Auditorium, better known as the "Grand Ole Opry".

That's why, fifty years after Larry left Nashville, they're going back! Father and son, on a road trip. One more shot at fulfilling Larry Harvey's dream before time runs out ... for both of them.
