And crunchy for actually seeing Garth, and from being from Broken Bow.
You are braver than I am, for sure.
I'm actually from a really small town in OK called Kingfisher, but I live in Broken Arrow now that I've gotten a job after finishing school. I'm not sure how young I was when I went to that concert, but growing up in that little cow town of Kingfisher everything was pretty much country music all the time. My how one's tastes change as they grow up!

Garth did a few songs at the pre Inaguration here in January. He was fucking awesome.
And I'm not a big county fan, but he rocked it out.

And I'm not a big county fan, but he rocked it out.
If there's anything I think any 'rooer can agree on it is that you should never discount an artist simply because of the genre they are described as being a part of. I'll say also that I'm not a big country fan, but there are a couple other bands in the red dirt country genre that can rock it out pretty good too.

This is my first time, finally. haha I've been wanting to go for a couple of years. I thought it was such a funny coincidence that I was going this year when Merle Haggard is also going. haha
