Eddie Adcock and IBMA on Good Morning America
A crew from ABC’s Good Morning America was at IBMA this week to talk to Eddie Adcock about his recent deep brain surgery at Vanderbilt here in Nashville.
The segment is scheduled to run on Friday morning (10/3) during the show’s 7:00-9:00 a.m. broadcast. Eddie suggested it was set to run at or near 8:30.
The crew filmed discussions with Eddie and his physician, plus Janet Deering, Eddie Stubbs, Jens Kruger and Terry Baucom about Eddie and his music.
Eddie’s surgery was a very new procedure where electrical stimulation is sent directly to the brain, a procedure he underwent to help defeat tremors in his right hand.
