A couple of shots I took of George back in 2008. Click on the link below for a big size version.

I'm partial to Merle Haggard, but even Merle says that George Jones is the greatest country singer who ever lived.

Ray Price
Merle Haggard
Willie Nelson
Dolly Parton
 
Those are the real superstars that are still with us. I still need to see Willie live.

I went to one of Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnics in Fort Worth. I got to see a bunch of greats all in one day:
 
Willie Nelson
Merle Haggard
Kris Kristofferson
Billy Joe Shaver
Ray Wylie Hubbard
Leon Russell
 
I think Ray Price was there too, but I missed his set.
 
Quite a line-up of Willie's friends!
 
I tried to go see George Jones at a country nightclub in Dallas once in the '90s. Unfortunately, I did not get a ticket in advance. I went down there the night of the show, and a massive amount of people showed up. The show completely sold out and try as I might, I couldn't get in. I'm always going to regret that I never got to see him live.
