Read Audrey's story below: I grew up listening to Dwight. My mom has always been a big fan. My granddad would teach me songs by Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash on the guitar, and I really started to love it. I got my first guitar on my 7th birthday. After that, I started teaching myself Dwight's songs. I would listen and pick out the chords and get the rhythm just right. Pretty soon I had taught myself every song on the dwightyoakamacoustic.net album. I started procuring his albums throughout my teenage years until I had them all and I continued to teach myself his songs. He always seemed to have the right words when I struggled in life. He was an integral part of my adolescence. I would sit and play all the Dwight songs I knew and would even teach them to my granddad. My grandmother loved hearing me play and sing the songs. When my grandmother fell ill, I played my granddad's Yamaha for her. She had given the guitar as a wedding gift to him 45 years prior. I played her every Dwight song I knew and spent many an evening playing at her bedside. Soon, she began to call me, "Dwight." The name was so endearing to me. A particularly delicate memory was when my grandmother was very ill and speaking out of her head. She had trouble speaking and recognizing people. I walked into her hospital room and my mother asked her, "Do you know who that is?" She almost immediately replied without missing a beat, "That's Dwight." We both smiled and looked at each other for a long while. Not only did she know me, but also she remembered the nickname she had given me. As her health slowly deteriorated, she and I held our love of Mr. Dwight Yoakam to remain close to each other. I spent nearly every day with her since infancy. She lived very near and we were extremely close. When my grandmother passed away last year, I clung to the memories of playing Dwight's songs for her and watching a DVD of Dwight on Austin City Limits as a young man. Dwight Yoakam has been a very special part of my life. Recently, by a chance of fate, Dwight traveled to Ashland Kentucky, only 30 minutes away from where I live, to play a concert. I feared I had found out about it too late and would not be able to attend the concert. When I got home from class one day, however, my mother surprised me with tickets. My sister and I saw him perform at the Paramount Arts Center in Ashland. I still consider it one of the best nights of my life. I could not contain my emotion as I thought of my grandmother and I saw him only rows ahead of me on the stage. I knew every word to the songs and had a wonderful time conversing with fellow Dwight fans. His song, "Never Alright" affected me deeply as I felt the lyrics were so profound and seemed to perfectly convey the feelings of losing a loved one. When my grandmother passed, I felt that the phrases, "It will be alright" and, "You'll be okay" were not true. I understood the sentiment but did not feel I could ever be "alright" again. The song made my heart feel at ease as I relished in the fact that someone understood how I felt. So, in conclusion of my long-winded memory (ies), I feel that Dwight Yoakam will always have a cherished place in my heart. He will always be an important part of my past, present, and future.
