Bye-Bye, George

Well, maybe it’s no surprise after all that George Jones canceled this week’s show that was supposed to happen at the Nutter Center.

The Possum never really did have a reputation for showing up on time, between all the drinkin, cussin, gettin busted and fallin’ apart he’s done over the years. In fact, when he did show up last year for a concert at the Fraze, he poked a good deal of fun at himself over this very topic. He showed a film over the stage of him getting arrested, and of theater marquees with “CANCELED” stenciled across the bill… Seems he’s finally gotten up there in years enough that he can have a bit of fun at his own, and his audience’s, expense.

The Fraze show was good, too. George was in fine spirits and solid voice. Glad he made it.

No word yet on what led to the cancellation of the Nuthouse concert… Hope he’s in good health and that all is well. Stay tuned, fans…
