Guest performs 'I Choose Forever'
Chris Akers introduces 'I Choose Forever,' written for his parents' thirty years of marriage and drawn from things his father vowed to his mother on their wedding day - 'a kiss for your forehead every night.' He performs it live in the studio. Afterward the hosts react warmly, Chris's music and Facebook page are plugged, and there is banter about the spelling of his last name (A-K-E-R-S, Norwegian) versus 'Acres.'
