There are a few sounds in this world that George Strait likes to hear more than any other: the stillness of a Texas lake, interrupted only by the chirp of crickets or the plop! of his fishing line's sinker hitting the water. The swoop of his golf club, followed by the pop when it meets the ball. The reassuring clop, clop, clop of his horse's hooves hitting solid ground.
