Welcome to "So You Like George Strait" website's 15th year on-line! We hope you enjoy the ever slowly growing content of Ace in the Hole & George "The Early Years". And so the story goes....................  It has been a real long time, but seeing George Strait and "Ace in the Hole" at Reliant Stadium in Houston this years was great. Along with "Sugarland" it was a great performance. The Tour is over for the year except for a few special performances. "Ace in the Hole Band Schedule"   I am resuming work on my book about "Ace in the Hole-The Early Years", the music business and "George Strait",. It is a work in a long progress. I will post excerpts from chapters from time to time, so stop by and check it out. I am creating a blog also. Email me if you would like to email you when I have updates. Thanks         I first met George about the time a lot of Strait fans were probably just starting school. My brother (Mike Daily) has been the steel guitar player since 1975( I'm not sure of the actual date, you would have to ask him). Actually he was in the band already before George joined. That's almost 33 years now! I must be getting old. Help an Old Friend make the World cleaner and greener!    It was 1976, the year I graduated high school when the Ace in the Hole band went to Doggetts recording studio on Studemont in Houston to record "I Just Can't Go on Dying" written by George), and The b side "Honky Tonk Downstairs" (written by Dallas Frazier) and Produced by my father Don Daily.   The studio was about 3 blocks from my fathers and uncles record distributorship on 11th street in the Heights of Houston Texas where I worked for 17 years.     The company was founded by My grandfather "Pappy Daily" who was the founder of George Jones and and was one of the great ears of country music in the early years of Hank Williams Sr. , Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and all the great country purist. The studio was also several blocks from a old club that Elvis played one of his pre-famed shows.     For the history of George Strait's early years you can go to my document page, which will be continued in the book I am writing.
