it was the summer of 1985 and i was a college freshman sports-information student assistant, spending a week in nashville, tennessee for a cosida convention.
it was then, when i had some downtime, that i decided i was going to the office of my favorite country-music singer, lee greenwood.
i just wanted to pop in to buy a t-shirt or something. some souvenir. maybe see if they had any new music cassettes there that you couldn't buy elsewhere.
told the lady at the front desk i was just a fan in town from california, wondering what they might have there for me. she excused herself from the room for a minute and then came back and said, "lee is here right now. would you like to meet him?"
lmao ... i could not believe my luck. i went back to his office, talked & laughed with the man. he asked his secretary to make us some popcorn. then we talked music. talked basketball (he's a sacramento kings fan). talked everything. i must've been there for at least 20 minutes.
on my way out the door, he gave me some shirts, hats, we took pictures. it was a great day. fun memories.
so when i hear lee ...
