Seen the Opossum tonight!

I know that most members here won't care but we went and seen George Jones tonight in concert. I was a little nervous when it was 2 minutes after show time and he still wasn't on stage, I thought we were in for a "No Show Jones" concert lol. Seriously the old mans voice is not quite where it used to be and neither is his stamina but I didn't go to the show to hear him at his best, I have his cd's for that. I went because I wanted to see one of the best country music artists in history and that was worth the price of admission. He still sounded pretty good though and he is a great entertainer, he kept the crowd laughing with a lot of funny stories and jokes. I have a list of country music artists that I want to see in concert in my lifetime, a bucket list of sorts. I missed my boat with Chris Ledoux, most likely Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash and obviously Waylon Jennings but it was nice to cross George Jones off the list. Still have several more to go including Merle Haggard who will be here in July.
