Strait talkin'

Last night I was lucky enough to have tickets to the almost-sold-out George Strait concert in Greensboro. I'd seen him before, at least 10 years ago, but George still puts on a great show. He doesn't even have to do anything but stand there with his guitar, look good and sing in that wonderful Texas drawl, and I'm hooked. Judging from the loud cheering and the fact that everyone sang along with nearly every single song, so was the rest of the audience.

Opening acts Taylor Swift and Ronnie Milsap didn't fail to disappoint, either. I especially enjoyed seeing Ronnie again; the last time was at the NC State Fair back in the late '70s. He puts on an incredible show and sings every bit as well as he did back in the days of all those #1 hits. An absolutely amazing talent.

A footnote to some concertgoers: Shhhhh! If you feel the need to talk throughout the entire show, please take your conversation out onto the concourse. Some of us actually came to listen to the music. Oh, and leave those annoying Nextel walkie-talkies at home, too. But that's for another post. Cheers!
