They buried George Jones on my birthday, so I will never forget that day. He had the greatest vocal chords God ever gave a human being and I’m not the only one that believes that……watch this to get an idea.

That is touchy spot with me. I can't believe Old Possum is gone. I was a huge fan of his music and when I heard about his passing, I was at work and was unable to find a place to myself to mourn. So I had to wait until I got home that evening. BUT! Once I got through the front door I broke down and cried like a little baby in front of my wife. Possum was Country Music. Plain and simple.

How fast the years fly by, nowadays.
Five years? I was thinking it was more like two. :cry:

George Jones and Merle Haggard outlived country music, though :whoa:
