I got to meet Amy Grant the other night. She's the wife of Vince Gill, who was being honored as Oklahoman of the Year at our old grade school (Vince was a year ahead of me, but we were in Cub Scouts together and played little league baseball on the same team). After the ceremony and mini-concert, I went up to Amy Grant and said, "Wow! You are a star, right here in the old auditorium. I mean, Vince...well, he's one of the guys from the team, but you are like a mega-star!' She was sooooo nice and really classy. She said to me, "You are a star, too. Vince has a picture of the team and you are in it. It's one of his most cherished possessions."I melted. Have you ever met a star?

She was so down to earth, I almost asked if they wanted to come by our house for dinner some time.

Vince is so lucky to have landed Amy Grant. He was a smart-alecky kid, and from the stories he told between songs, he hasn't changed much. She's gotta be pretty patient. LOL.

What is so wonderful about it is that she is such a regular person. She got talked into singing a couple of songs, but their 7-yr-old daughter had fallen asleep on her lap, so they handed her a microphone and sang a couple of songs in a very quiet, but beautiful, voice.
