R.I.P.


Very sad news out of the music world today.

R.I.P. GEORGE.

I wouldn't say he is the greatest male country singer but he is surely one of the faces on the Mount Rushmore of country music.

I used to like the guy when I was younger until he was NO SHOW for a concert that a band a worked for was to play at. All because he was too drunk to be able to perform. He cost us a good deal of money that day by not appearing. They canceled the entire show less than 2 hours before it was to start. Lost all respect for him after that.

Ole no show bout got me killed one day when I was out for a leisurely ride on my moped on some back road by the possum holler music stage,angry fans were leaving early and storming past me throwing their bottles in rage,turns out old George had one to many at the 76 cocktail lounge just up the road that day.He was a character alright

Possum Holler is name of the place where the band I worked for was to play when he was a no show in the summer of 83. Not sure if it the same place or not. There used to be a few places with the same name.

Probably the same place,the one I'm thinking of was on 664 south of Logan,believe it was on a Sunday afternoon but not sure,I don't think George ever played anywhere else around here that I know of,I bet that was the same concert it made pretty big news around here.

Yep, that was the place.

He performed here in Zanesville a couple of years ago. The place holds a little over 1800 people. There were only about 500 people in attendance that Saturday night.

RIP

His latest single "You Need 2 Livers to Love Her" will be number one in a few days.

Sorry about your personal encounters BUT, listen to the music!
