The Older I Get

When I was a kid we hung out with Alan Jackson all weekend at the Missouri State Fair. It was a year before he got real famous back in 1991. He played in a bud tent. My dad owned a pipeline business at the time and I remember him asking my dad if he could go to work on the pipeline because he didn't think he would make it in country music. My dad told him don't worry Alan, you're gonna make it. And my dad was right. Alan was very down to earth and one of the nicest guys you could meet.
