Garth Brooks - Hello Samantha Dear, I Hope You're Feelin' Fine

"Those who have known me for a while will tell you this isn’t as far a stretch as one might imagine. Having grown up as a cattle buyer’s son, I had a myriad of jobs working with cattle throughout my late teens and early twenties. Being surrounded by country when Garth was at his height of popularity, I had no choice but to be influenced and even somewhat inspired by the genre.

Although I had plenty of ideas on the concept and direction of this piece, the title was never in question. The title of this piece is far and away the most personal and important title in my catalog. I originally had planned on outlining the reason for its importance in this paragraph, but as I was contemplating it, I decided to take the “Hotel California” approach and keep the meaning between the few people in my life that know its importance." -Stickman
