Ruby and The King

Is it normal for a 16 month old baby to be able to know who George Strait is?  It's not my fault!  I promise!

This morning after Ruby and I was outside for a while trying to beat the heat of the afternoon, I thought I'd get on the computer and see if I could get a listen to The King's new single.  I went to the website to see if it was playing in full there, it's not by the way, but a little teaser plays on the home page.

Ruby left her toys and Mickey Mouse in the living room to run and have a listen herself!  She climbed up in my lap and wanted more.  So.....we went to you tube to find some videos.  I think her favorite was "Amarillo by Morning".  There's lots of rodeo scenes playing while a very young George is singing.  I asked her who was singing. 

That's when it happened.  She said, "George Strait"  plain as day!!  Since this is the first time she and I have had a talk about George I'm gonna say it's her Momma's doin.

I can't imagine George will still be on tour when Ruby get's old enough to go to a concert.  I'd like to think so, but probably not.  She probably wouldn't want to go with her ancient Aunt anyway.  Let's see, I was 15 the first time I saw him at the Oklahoma State Fair Rodeo.  George would only be in his late 60's by then. 

It could happen.  Maybe she wouldn't mind after all.  Especially if I buy her a ticket!!!
