Sometimes I wish I could be as good at it as Max is.Halloween is here, and for lots of country stars, that means one thing: elaborately-designed family costumes. I see that in him and I strive for that myself.

You should just keep digging into that,’” he says. “I pitched the idea to my dad and Gennie, and they thought that ‘Yeah, there’s something there. This thing is amazing.’ Then Henry said, ‘Bye, Trash Truck,’ in this very innocent, sweet way.”Īfter that, Keane started telling Henry bedtime stories about a little boy and his best friend who was a garbage truck, and the idea began picking up speed. “I was holding Henry, looking at this giant beast of a truck, and I said to myself, ‘Wow, yeah.
