| He is still playing with George Jones. I met him in Norman, Oklahoma a little over a year ago. Very nice gentleman and a great player. |

Jones sings better today than he did five years ago.
Back In our younger years Waylan used to say George was the only singer that could make a three syllable word out of I.
And with Killen playing steel....It just don't get much better than that. I think he took over the steel seat when Sonny left. And I also have that video. "Pure Country" with George Strait Is also good. It's a movie.

George Jones will be performing at Wild Adventures Theme Park near Valdosta, GA. this Saturday, Feb. 8th.
I hope to meet Tom Killen at the show, and I sure am looking forward to hearing both him and the Possum.
I will be playing steel with the opening act on the program, The Michael Stacey Band. If any fellow Forumites come to the show, come by and say hello.
