George Jones never sang a song that I didn’t like. His range is amazing.

Almost 80 and still doesn’t sound bad.

Yeah he screwed up plenty, so did his compadres. Johnny Casn, Waylon Jennings and others. Sometimes he laughed at himself sometimes he cried. Not sure Tammy was a good partner for him in other than song, but he loved her no doubt of that.

George was the best Still is IMO, these new guys suck.

That particular song ~ if you listen to it a moment ~ will get you thinking about folks you really respected or worked with or loved or liked or whatever for a long time and then that's going to go away for you someday when you disappear from this mortal plane of existence.

Yup ~ the sadness of the ultimate sadness is you won't be there to feel it. Or, the happiness of the ultimate happiness, or the love of the ultimate love, ...... cannot even be fully contemplated from this side of eternity.

And we miss the ones we miss, even for ages.

Leastwise that ALWAYS causes me to think that way when I hear that song ~ so I avoid it. But today I played it. And there it is.

George Jones could have written Ecclesiastes I think.
