No Show Jones..

[walleyes]

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned on here with all the country fans we have. But we lost an icon a few days ago, old George Jones past on. I was a huge Jones fan from my teen years. When all my friends were listening to the head banging crap i was into George, Willie, Waylon and the boys. Oh I had my rock music but at heart I have always been a country fan and old George was at the top of the list..

Rest in peace no show Jones.

I never heard that until now.  Another good ol' boy gone.  RIP No-Show.

The man makes good music but 'he' also had to deal with his demons. Had a ticket to one of his concerts and yes, he was a no show. We had an option to keep our tickets for a future show or cask them in. I kept mine and when the show finally arrived so did George. It was quite apparent George was drunk on stage but he managed to pull it through. The mans a master poet and a GREAT singer but I never bought another ticket to see his concerts after that. As most people with addictions, he was unreliable.....

I will always be a huge fan.  I grew up with his music and I still listen to it and love it today.

Personal demons aside, he was a one of a kind talent, and I think he left the world a much better place than he found it.

RIP George

Never heard the "no show" alias before and makes no difference to me, he was a wonderful entertainer. Got a chance to see him and Tammy just before she passed, she was a very tired and spent prescence, but he made up for it.

I watched the youtube link then watched "Who's going to fill their shoes",sure makes you appreciate all the great talents that have left us.

I wonder in twenty years if names like Jones,Cash and Jennings will still be more recognized then some of the stars of today.
