» George's delivery was cute!
I don't know how many of you have bought the GSTRC DVD for 2009. I giggle at George everytime I watch it. During the Saturday hosting speech before the Team Roping starts George is thanking his sponsors. Among the sponsors is a local lawyer. George thanked him by 'mocking' the lawyer's rather animated serious TV ad. But he looked over with a big smile on his face when he said it. "You deserve respect and justice, so we DEMAND IT!" Very dramatic there George... reminded me of Dusty.."Get yer a$$ outta here.. go'on, get yer a$$ outta here."
It was rather nice that several ropers won some money on some red wrapped steers - sponsored by - this lawyer. The cowboys got a kick out of getting over $20,000. from a lawyer. George was, of course, real cute when he delivered that line.
» Lookin' good and sounding great at the CMA Awards, George.
» George performed "TWANG" on the 43rd Annual CMA Awards show Nov. 11th. The audience screamed as he walked on stage while Martina was doing a tribute to Barbara Mandrell who is entering the Hall of Fame, and can our man belt out the classics! "I was country when country wasn't cool." I loved it!
