Very nice guy the couple of times I came in contact with him. RIP, sir.

He can sing with Tammy again.

If you had to name American music legends, he would have to be in most people's top 10/20.

I received some free tickets to one of his concerts a decade or so ago. I wasn't a huge fan of his, so I wasn't really excited about going. However, I came away impressed.

Without the fanfare, trick stages and props; it was one of the more musically entertaining shows I've seen.....much more entertaining than a Dylan concert.

I wasn't too keen on country music because I didn't have access to it. Sure, there was a country station in town but I never listened to it. Until. I joined the Air Force and there were a bunch of southern boys who would put their nickles (yep, nickles) in the juke box to country music. Now I love it. Last person I heard in concert was Lorrie Morgan in Nashville last Christmas.

RIP Georgie.

RIP Opossum.

Sad to see George Jones go. I was gonna go watch him at Margarittaville in Shreveport in June.

I noticed today on Facebook that many people became the BIGGEST George Jones fans..... EVER

I was never much of a Country Music fan, but George Jones reminds me of riding around in my Dad's GMC Pickup when I was a kid. Something about country music from the 70's. Riding in the back of that old pickup out that old holler with dirt flying all over the place. Hot summers in a tobacco field at my Pawpaw's house. That's what George Jones' music reminds me of.

He stopped loving her today... :(

I enjoyed his music. His songs were fun, emotional, and spiritual. RIP.
