"I think there's enough room in country music for everybody."- Charley Pride
I don't know if there's anybody who doesn't love George Strait, but I'm being honest when I say that he is my all-time favorite artist- hands down. He was awarded "Artist of the Decade" by the Academy of Country Music and he's had something like 57 No. 1 hits! As far as I'm concerned, he can't be touched.
Well, I have literally been waiting to see this man in concert since about 8th grade- somewhere around 13 years- and two weekends ago I FINALLY got the opportunity! I heard on the radio that he'd be in Atlanta on Thursday, the 25th, and Orlando the following Friday. Needless to say, I didn't hesitate for one second to make arrangements to go!
It was by far the best concert I've ever seen. I haven't been to that many shows, but I seriously doubt that one will ever be topped. Not only was the man of my dreams there and singing entirely to me; Reba Melissa Peterman, and Leann Womack were all there too! Reba and Melissa Peterman were hilarious together, as usual. George Strait also sang my all time favorite song of his, "Run". So, I definitely got my money's worth.
I took a lot of pictures from the show, none of which are great because my camera isn't that fabulous and we were too far away from the stage to zoom in big enough. I also took about 10 videos- all of which were awful because you can't even hear my beloved George singing because of my ridiculously loud and obnoxious singing and hollering in the background. My singing voice, I've been warned, is something akin to "fingernails on a chalkboard" I believe it was. Ahhhm. Yeah. But, nonetheless, I had a wonderful time- and should I have the opportunity to see George Strait in concert again, I'm there for sure!
