First off if you don't know who Ben Rector is please just go listen to his music and allow your ears to be filled with the greatest songs since The Star Spangled Banner.

Dear Mr. Ben Rector,

Thank you for being the raddest of all time. Thanks for giving me countless memories of belting "Brand New" from the top of my lungs as I'm flying down 244. Thanks for all the late night dance moves at Falls Creek that if you saw, would probably make you cringe. Thanks for the late night drives halfway across Oklahoma because we have to see your show at the Brady Theater and see you christen the Criterion in OKC. Thanks for always being on repeat after football games at Sonic or Braums. Thanks for being the songs we sing in the shower before prom. Thanks for all the t-shirts we have stuffed away in our dressers. Thanks for the love songs we can actually sing because you aren't telling us to work or twerk. Thanks for the best cover of "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" I've ever heard. Thank you for all the first dances at weddings, because who doesn't want to spin around with "White Dress" in the background. Thank you for the songs that make our smiles widen, hearts fill with joy and our bodies flail around as we "dance." Thanks for the songs that we sing out to Jesus when we've almost given up.

Thank you for showing the world that Oklahoma isn't all Cowboy boots and farmer tans. Thanks for rocking denim on denim and bicycles. Thanks for the first dances at Prom, the times we didn't have to worry about the music when we drive our moms to church, the memories intertwined with all your songs. Thanks for it all, Ben. Thank you for showing us that dreams do come true.

Sincerely,

Your Biggest Fan
