George Jones Turns 81
One of my favorite Country Music legends is the great George Jones. Today, September 12, 2012 'The Possum' turns 81.
I've had the honor to host several George Jones concerts through the years, interview the legend, and help promote his projects. However, one of my favorite moments came last year when I got to ask George Jones 8 questions for his 80th Birthday. If you missed it, click here to see what George had to say.
On this special occasion, I also want to share my favorite George Jones video and song, 'Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?' Sadly, George kicks off his final year of touring with 'The Grand Tour' in 2013.
