Tim McGraw Trades a Hug for a Silly Band

Posted: July 13th, 2010 at 4:17 pm  |  By: Alison Bonaguro  

Tim McGrawHave you seen these colorful elastic bands that kids are wearing by the dozens up and down each wrist? These Silly Bandz are shaped like animals, letters, signs and in Tim McGraw's case, musical instruments. A 9-year-old girl, Megan Robertson, who was at his concert in Bristow, Va., set one aside just for him. She had seen him jog right by her on her walk into the venue and she was later moved toward the front of the stage during the show. According to the local news, McGraw reached down to Robertson at one point and she slipped a guitar-shaped Silly Band onto his wrist. Then, as if that was not enough thrill for one night, McGraw had her join him onstage when he sang "Tiny Dancer." She told Fredericksbrug.com, "He's my dream, and I just got to live it! It's just so amazing." I hope McGraw thinks of how he made that girl's night every time he sees his Silly Band.

    So happy I came across this Alison. Who would have thought that the package of musical silly bandz we purchased …just for the guitar for Megan to bring to Tim would have brought her so much joy.

    Well this just proves to me once again what a down to earth, fantastic person Tim is.

    I think that was such an awesome thing he did for his young fan. I am sure it will be something she will never forget.

    Tim, you are A ++++ in my book forever.

    May God continue to bless you and your family.

    To Megan…congratulations on making a dream come true…I am happy for you. :)

    Tim McGraw,
    It is great when are fames family can make the diffrence, by the little thing. Sometimes the Little things mean more then money can ever buy. I just wish more people can find that out. Their are some of these realty shows, that their parents give their child what ever they want. This does not teach are childern what life is all about. Life is about family and friends. How many of are teens and adults live off the land, if they did not have all a ruff over their head, and all that is in there home.

    Thank you for making a difrents.

    LeAnna R. Brewer
    Peace and family is what we all need.
    My God grant you all your dreams, even your privet ones.

    I think the world of Tim and his wife and have seen them be so nice to children all the time. this is just the way he is. he and Faith have 3 girls and they love children. they feel blessed and they show it. when she was in concert she had a little girl on stage with her dancing and took time away from her show to talk to her, and that girl will never forget her kindness. Tim you are awesome,it means a lot to the kids when you pay so much attention to them.Megan you are a very lucky little girl.

    Tim Mcgraw is so overrated as a singer. He is always so blue and can’t really do much on stage except walk around. Boring………………

    He Doesn’t need to do do anything except walk around…..His singing and looks do it all for him, and that’s definitely NOT boring….
