George Jones' funeral was laid to rest yesterday after a nearly three-hour service. I continue with some special audio clips from an interview I did with George in 1991, maybe 1992. It was on an internationally syndicated show broadcast from Nashville. These include how hard Nancy (pictured with George) works him, Georgette - his daughter with Tammy Wynette, a call from the late Shirley Collie Nelson - Willie Nelson's former wife, his longevity in the business and finally, ironically what he would have on his headstone. Personally I have enjoyed putting these together. It brought back some nice memories. On the last cut, George talks about how he hopes we can get together again.  Even though I spoke with Nancy and George once or twice later I never saw them again.

NANCY WORKS HIM SO HARD AND DAUGHTER GEORGETTE

Go to Wikipedia for more information on Georgette Jones. For information on George and Georgette's feud check out our sister station WGNA's blogs. A few weeks ago Georgette was on a Seattle podcaster's program. Here is the link: NORTHWEST PRIME
