Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers and father figures out there!! Time once again for #SLS. Jim gives us the prompt of Dad/Father/Barbecue.
I went with classic country for my choice. Written by songwriter Aaron Barker turned into a hit by George Strait. It’s a real story written after Aaron’s 16 year old son was in a car wreck. He wanted to give his son advice and it came out in the way of this song.
At first Aaron did not want to release the song to George because it was too personal for him. He felt no one else could do justice. Aaron’s mother and sister convinced him to do otherwise and the rest is history.
As always, more to come.
Beautiful 💜

Good song, and George Strait had an incredible voice.

George sure is a fan favorite around these parts. I think he and his wife Norma still keep a place here at the Dominion. Not 100% sure but that’s what I’ve heard.

Wish I had more pictures of myself with my dad, especially when I was older. I don’t have any from my first wedding and he wasn’t alive for the second.
