Snake Farm
Ol school snake charmer!
Today was my Birthday and my present from my daughter was George Jones tickets.........and even though he's only a couple months shy of 81 years old and nicknamed "No Show Jones".........he showed up this evening! [cl
Eric Beddingfield opened for him and ended his set with "The Gospel According to Jones"
Then George came out and did an hour.........
He did most of his big hits or at least a verse or two of them. His age and lifestyle is catching up with him fast and he struggled a bit but gave it his all. It was one of those little outdoor venues (the grass parking lot of the local Dirt Track) and in typical fashion it poured the rain down......it started raining during "He Stopped Loving Her Today", I thought that was fitting.
There were several folks that left with disappointed looks on their faces after the first couple songs.........I guess they just didn't get it, especially the elderly couple behind us that grumbled as the wife helped the husband to the parking lot [S
What did they expect from someone about their age? As for me and my friend Lee, we just went to see the "man"........the "legend" and enjoyed it for what it was, a guy who still gets out there and does his thing as best he can.
Thank you George, glad I got to see you!
