I found this post on another site as a "Comment" .......... it's neat. George Jones funeral today. Have tried to listen to it or watch it, but no luck.
As security cleared the area of his bus, my wife entered the area after it was cleared not knowing anything about Jones.
He was exiting the bus and saw her and said, "Hello pretty lady, who are you here to see"?
She told him George Jones.
He KNEW that she didn't know who he was and then asked her, "Is he any good?" My wife said I think so, my husband really likes him but said that some times he doesn't show up for his shows.
George told her...."I am sure he will be here today".
After my wife returned to our seats in the second row, I asked her what took her so long at the restroom and she said some guy stopped and talked to her about the show.
When Jones came on the stage, he winked at my wife and said "Hello pretty lady,
I told you he would be here".
She told me that was the guy she was talking to. I almost passed out. Thank God she didn't say anything bad about country music. I met him after the show and he got the biggest kick out of not being recognized.
We will miss you George.
