“I like the idea that within the structure of the song, some kind of built-in improvisation keeps them fragile and in their moment, so that I'm not projecting so much, so that my perception of the song doesn't interfere with what its real body is.

“I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of one of my all time heroes, George Jones. Georges' music was real and he was able to touch thousands through his songs. Not only was he a great singer, but he also had the ability to make you relate to every one of his songs, no matter who you are. He and his music will remain timeless in the world of country music. My thoughts and prayers are with his family through this difficult time.” WorldRealCountryMatterAbleSongDifficultPrayerAbilityHeroWho You AreSingersPassingPassingsAll TimeRelateTimelessMy ThoughtsDifficult TimesSaddenedThoughts And PrayersGeorge Jones Author:Easton Corbin
