Sad day

Post by Brokenarrow »

The greatest country singer of all time died today, RIP Possum :( Waylon Jennings once said; If we could all sound the way we wanted, we'd all sound like George Jones; I'm thinking right now, George, Waylon, & Johnny are sipping Jim Beam and rockin the pearly gates.

Funny story about George,
Back when George had a bad drinking problem he wanted to go get some alcohol but his wife had taken all the keys out of the cars so he couldn't go anywhere to get a drink. Well that didn't slow down the possum, He got on the John Deere riding mower and went to the store. He had a problem on the way back when the law pulled him over and took him to jail for being drunk.

Rest in piece George. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1CnBN5Njvk

Yup, busted in the bar ditch on a riding mower.Gotta admire his resolve to get a dadgum drink. In his mind he wasn't really driving. Ha
Here is one of my all time favorites, kinda obscure now but a hit in this area in the 60's.
