The King of Country Music

7.17.09

Yes, it's true, I'm spoiled and we got to go to see this guy sing live in concert! George Strait has been one of my favorites since I was little, and I've always wanted to see him perform live. So Eric humored me and bought us tickets to go. And let me tell you he isn't too into the smoke, and the stage, and the lights, but man can he sing. If you have ever heard recording of George Strait, he sounds exactly the same in concert! We were both very impressed. It was very well worth the drive, and sitting in traffic forever. (it took us 3 hours to drive to the concert, which should normally only take about an hour.)

Because we were stuck in traffic we missed one of the opening acts, Julianne Hough. But we got there in time to see most of Blake Shelton. Eric got to hear him perform his two favorites of his, Austin, and Some Beach. Eric also has a new Blake Shelton favorite, Old Red.

Blake Shelton

(we aren't sure why he was dressed like he was cold or something, it was over 90 degrees outside, and he had a long sleeved shirt on.)

Just us
And here he is, the King of Country Music himself
This was a view from our seats We were amazed, he just sang and sang and sang. No chit chat, or much talking, he just sang song after song. But when you have that many hits, I guess you better fit as many in as possible. Cause there is no way he could even come close to performing all of his well known songs. Us with George, can you see him in the background? We had a great time, and I was thrilled we were able to go. He definitely put on a good show.

Thank you Mom & Dad for taking Hallie, so we could go.
