My favorite GS song is “Amarillo by Mornin’”...man that has the best violin, uh, excuse me...fiddle solo in any song!

There’s only one equal to King George and that’s “my fiance’” Alan Jackson....I love, love,love him......I’ve seen GS at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo many times and he’s great but I still think AJ is the better performer!

George Strait big time. Go back and listen to Bob Wills songs and there is a lot of the Texas Playboys style in George’s music.
