George Strait with Martina McBride and Randy Rogers Band
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo- Houston, TX
To fully appreciate this blog, you must first understand my mother's history with George Strait. She was in his fan club, she traveled all across our great state (and beyond) to see him live. George Strait to my Ma = Tegan and Sara to me. And if you know me, country music isn't really my thing and I kind of refuse to blog about any country concerts I went to. But George is an exception. I mean... have you seen him? He's in his sixties, and man has he aged gracefully. Plus I got to wear this sweet Canadian Tuxedo.

See below for throwback pictures of me and Ma at George concerts of yesteryear.
