When George Jones was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992, Reba McEntire introduced the legend by saying “there are many ways to describe Country Music, but I can do it in just two words: George Jones.” You’re about to take a journey through Country Music history with our list of the Top 10 George Jones songs. From 1964’s ‘The Race Is On’ to 1980’s ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’ and the triumphant come-back of 1999’s ‘Choices,’ these are not only the greatest hits from the man known as “the Possum” — these are some of country music’s greatest hits overall.

Country Legend George Jones remains at his Tennessee home recuperating from upper respiratory infection. Doctors have advised Mr. Jones to remain home and continue resting for another week. Therefore, shows in Minnesota and South Dakota for this coming weekend will need to be postponed and rescheduled.

“I never want to cancel a show, but I have to do what the doctors tell me,” says Jones. “I thank all the fans from the bottom of my heart for their prayers and I look forward to seeing them on the road soon.”

The Possum has lived up to his nickname over the years, at least during his infrequent passes through Central Illinois.

If not playing possum literally, country legend George Jones has managed to scuttle under the media radar.

Prior to Saturday’s impending Peoria Civic Center show, the Possum’s last pass through was seven years ago at Illinois State University’s Braden Auditorium.

The ISU show’s promoter agreed Jones’ interview average hadn’t much improved since the last time we’d checked.

“Oh, sometimes he’ll decide to do one at the last minute. You never know. So don’t give up hope.”

We clung to that hope until our knuckles turned whiter than the Possum’s hard-earned silver mane.

Dear Friends:

My granddaughter Breann is once again preparing to go on a mission trip with her church and this time she is going to Guatemala. I normally would not even mention this to anyone but in this case I am making an exception because as many of you know, my beloved grandson Carlos is from Guatemala and now his sister has the chance to go there on a mission trip and experience where her brother came from and most importantly to help the people there. She is raising money for her trip but please don’t feel obligated to support, however, if you do so it is greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards,
George Jones
