Every time I’ve met Neal has been special but I chose to tell about the first time. That was the day I officially became a NEALBILLY 150%.
I shall start from the beginning so you can understand why meeting Neal meant so much to me. After seeing him live June 22nd in Little Rock, AR I’ve not been the same. He absolutely Rocked my World. He followed me on twitter Jun 26th. I have cherished every tweet, retweet, etc. I’ve gotten from him. I knew I had to meet him and sooner the better.
I won a trip to the Gulf Coast Jam 2014 which was Labor Day weekend. When I realized he was going to be there I jumped in to action and joined his Fan Club to get a M&G. They told me my hubby’s and my name would be on a list at the venue – I only had 1 week to prepare for this trip. I made me & Neal matching friendship bracelets. Found him a cute card. Then began the nerve racking wait for Aug 31st.
It finally arrived and I was now becoming a total basket case. Finally got the affirmation that our name was on the list. By now tears are starting to form in my eyes. Between the excitement & nerves I was honestly afraid I would pass out. I was told I was to be last which was fine since that’s the best place to be for any M&G.
My hubby met him first and told him I might pass out on him. He tried to get me to come in then and I said “No way is he stealing my Limelight!” I was the only one allowed to take my own camera in.
After Hubby walked out Neal said come on Sandra, it’s alright. I walked in and gave him the biggest hug. He started telling his people that I was always on Twitter and I never failed to tweet him. He then said he had turned me into a Neal McCoy fan but he said she still likes Blake but she’s mine now. He attempted to autograph my Neal Koozie with a black sharpie, but it didn’t show up good so while he waited for a silver one he signed my Gulf Coast Jam shirt. I put his bracelet on him & gave him his card.
He told me he’d look for me in the crowd. I told him where I’d be. I was right next to the stage so I wasn’t hard to find. I gave him another big hug. They used my camera to take our picture. I spent about 15 minutes with him..
While he was on stage he acknowledged me multiple times by pointing, winking & smiling. Neal McCoy is ABSOLUTELY the SWEETEST Man on EARTH! I just love him so much. His song “Can You Do This” is what happened to me. He kept shaking them hips and I fell in love. I’m now and OFFICIAL NEAL JUNKIE SUPREME!
