It Was Like He Was Singing Just To Me

At this very moment, I'm looking at a picture of Craig Morgan, Deanna and I. It's hanging on my cubicle wall, right next to the Elvis calendar. Elvis and Craig... what a combination. Being that Elvis is dead sorta puts a damper on his sex appeal, but I don't like to think about that.

I drove out with Heather and Deanna to the Alaska State Fair to see Country Idol Winner Bridget Sullivan open for Craig Morgan. Bridget took my breath away with her performance... MAN, to be able to sing like her! She belts out songs like one breathes... except she sounds really good and not like... well, not like someone just breathing.

I've never met an actual celebrity before...(with the exception of Matt Valley, of course!)so it was an awesome experience to actually shake Craig Morgan's hand and pose with him for a photo. He was very pleasant and even commented on my glasses. His exact words were, "I really like your glasses" which of course translated to: "We're both married so I can't sing love songs to you even though if we met twenty years ago..." But then that would have made me only ten and that doesn't sound too romantic. So scratch that. The man just liked my glasses. Or maybe he was just looking for an excuse for me to let go of his hand that I shook for a good sixty seconds.

If you haven't had the chance to see Craig in concert, then you're missing a great show. And keep an eye out for Bridget Sullivan... I'm sure we're going to be hearing a lot from her in the years to come.
