A lot of times in this business, we are taking advantage of hot times in our career to do a lot of TV and a lot of radio and that sort of thing, and George is able to be so humble that he can get away with not doing those things.

I'm the most low-maintenance person on the road.
careers venture wells
We have never seen a career like George Strait's in this business, and I venture to say we never will again. He has handled things amazingly well.
