The Cowboy Rides Away Tour was everything I ever hoped it would be and much, much more! If you went, too, what did you think of the show?

Martina McBride opened for George and got everyone on their feet for a standing ovation after she beautifully belted out 'Broken Wing'. There were several times during her performance that gave me chills, she was THAT good!

When George Strait finally stepped out onto the stage, fans went crazy! He went back and performed songs from his very first albums and, of course, some of his number 1 best hits.

One of my favorite parts about this concert was that George presented a Wounded Warrior with the key to his new home :) The crowd inside the Spirit Arena erupted, chanting, 'USA! USA! USA!'. Everyone had tears of pride and joy in their eyes.

It is a sad farewell that we bid to George Strait here in Lubbock, but all good things come to an end and we wish him all the best of luck in all of his remaining endeavors in life. George- you've given us all great music to live life to!
