Step right up... C'mon in....

I hear the line of people outside the Grand Ol' Opry house this morning trying to get inside for George Jones' funeral was in the thousands.  No doubt he was dearly loved by many, and truly one of country's greatest voices.  Another one of my favorite country voices is Lee Ann Womack.  Here is a video of her singing Jones' "The Grand Tour" for The Possum's birthday at the GOO a few years ago.  I was lucky enough to be standing on the sides of the stage that night, because the handsome guitar player you see to LAW's right playing the green electric guitar is my talented husband, Mike Waldron.

Thank you George Jones... for sharing your music and your talent with so many. I'm sure when you reached the pearly gates... ol' St. Peter said, "Step right up... c'mon in".

  2. We just watched this episode on Saturday night (Sunday morning, actually), and I pointed out Mike to my wife :)

    Loved LAW's rendition, so did George, he looked pretty teared up.

    Thanks for the tribute, hope all is well!
