First time I heard George was when I was a lil girl, sitting on the front porch with my mom…..
i first heard george strait in a friends car.
thanks for the giveaway.
I’m not sure of the first time I heard George, but I remember going to his concerts in the early to mid 1980′s. I was a pre-teen and instead of floor seats, it was all dance floor. I saw him at the Muskogee Civic Center, Tulsa’s Pavillion, and at the Tulsa Fair at what is now the racetrack. Concerts just aren’t like that anymore.
I first heard George Strait on the radio. I first saww George Strait at the Houston Rodeo in about 1986. I have bought my wife the Strait Boxed set and every other cd he’s made since.
He is a “real” Cowboy! You look so good in Wranglers! My family are “real” Cowboys and Cowgirls! We work on a cattle ranch to make a living!
I was introduced to George Strait through my father, a farrier and a real cowboy…
Love me some George Strait! So do my horses!!!
First time I heard George Strait was when I was down at the fairgrounds putting up pens for some goats in my FFA Class. One of the guys had his truck stereo blasting “The Fireman” …ever since then, I’v been hooked!!!
