I was surprised at Bliss Hair Salon today to learn that young people (well, about thirty) did not know the country singer, George Jones, who died today at the age of 81. 


I found some nice video coverage of The Kennedy Center Awards in 2008 with Brad Paisley, Randy Travis, George Strait and Garth Brooks singing some of George's songs as well of him singing his most famous song himself. George Jones is sitting with his wife and President George W. Bush. (on You Tube)

George Jones had a home not far from where we live in Texas and was pretty much the epitome of the typical country singer. I just assumed everybody knew him, or knew of him.
