Being a rabid fan paid off for one of Eric Church's die hard followers. A fan named Aaron attended his 100th Eric Church concert last week. Eric wanted to say thanks for his continued support, so he gave Aaron the guitar he’s played on stage for several years. For guitar players, you know what a gift that is. Usually the guitars they are giving away are "stunt" guitars. Not this one! How cool. Watch the video below:

Country superstar George Strait has another passion besides music. Golf. He and a partner bought the Tapatio Springs Golf Resort northwest of San Antonio.

He expects it to be a great vacation destination in the near future.
