George Strait Tribute Show...

[rasb]

For anyone even remotely interested in Country Music, this show is not to be missed. The list of performers is amazing, and it just started 15 minutes ago.
Between the Wings/Hawks, and the Lakers/Nuggets and this show, my remote is in high gear !!!

Sorry....I meant to add that, if you are not on Satellite, this show doesn't start unti 8:00 pm, Pacific Time... So far, it is fantastic...

That was an amazing lineup of artists for Straits tribute. Gave me something to watch tonite. Is Taylor Swift the cutest thing out there or is it just me?

Hey LW,
Not just you, taylor swift is a sweetheart. And as for the lineup, truly amazing...I wonder if there has ever been more heavy weight talent on the stage ever .... And now, I get to watch again on Pacific time....yeah !!!

Not to over-rapsodize about Taylor Swift but I just figured out her appeal (to me at least) There are beautiful women and there are cute women. She is one of the few who succeeds, without obvious effort, in being both simultaneously.

Gag -- I can't stand Taylor Swift. Tammy Wynette and Patsy Cline have to be rolling over in their graves. I wish I could have ripped that headband off of Taylor's head.

Anyhow, George is country. Even though he can't write a song, he can sure deliver one.

We weren't able to understand why Faith Hill and Montgomery Gentry did the Loretta Lynn and Alabama tributes, respectively, during a program devoted to Mr. Strait. But that's today's country music for ya, I guess.

Cooter, even on this board, that is too much information! LOL

BillVol,
Each of the other artists honoured were "artists of the decade" during the past 50 years. I thought the tributes to Marty Robbins, Loretta Lynn, Alabama and Garth Brooks by Keith Urban, Faith Hill, Montgomery Gentry and Martina McBride were all excellent. And Jamie Foxx ain't exactly "old country" but he sure nailed that song (You look so good in love). I thought it was a great show, and thoroughly enjoyed watching it twice. I found myself wondering at how many "units sold" those artists represented. I think the numbers would be staggering.

Thanks for the info, rasb. My favorite Strait song is "The Fireman."
