George Strait to Become a Grandfather

Country Music Hall of Famer George Strait has something else to look forward to along with releasing his upcoming album 'Here for a Good Time' -- a grandchild!

The legendary singer's songwriting son Bubba Strait and wife Tamara are expecting their first baby in February, ABC News Radio reports. We have a feeling, he or she is going to be a talented one to boot.

Bubba (whose real name is George Strait, Jr.) is actually the one who encouraged his iconic dad to start doing more songwriting. He, along with famed tunesmith Dean Dillon, co-wrote more than half of the tracks on 'Here for a Good Time' with George. The same three men are also responsible for penning the 2009 hit, 'Living for the Night.'

Bubba insists he's satisfied with making a name for himself in the songwriting community, rather than on a stage. "I got my mom's singing voice!" he jokes with Cowboys and Indians magazine. "But that's OK, I don't know if I could sing in front of a lot of people anyway."

Hi George: Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your new grandchild. I speak from much experience, grandchildren are a gift from God. I have 12 and love everyone of them with all my heart. At 56 they keep me young.
We also have something in common. My cousin George H. used to work for you as your pilot. Haven't seen him in a long time...Tell him his pesty cousin April said hello.
God bless you and your family and keep on singing...

who really care's if they got married before she got pregnant at least they are getting married, look at the many that have children together that do not get married, Angelina and Brad they have many children and have yet to get married.

Hum....Strange that they never mentioned a wedding prior to this article! Sad to say but I think the only reson why Bubba is married is because he found out he was going to be a daddy!
