My producer, Billy Sherrill was the one who put me on George's duet album, and I must search to see what that duet was, so long ago.
I remember the show in Goshen, IN, when he pulled me up on stage to sing a few while , he took a break! That one song turned into 20 min. on his stage, his show! Nancy asked us up on the bus, while cooking a pot of beans!
I remember the Ohio fair, at a George Jones show, when Tammy cancelled, and they flew us in to replace her part . He had me sing Golden Ring, and I was thankful the floor monitor showed the lyrics to help me thru!
I remember our tour in Europe, singing in 6 countries, and how I got to visit with George and Nancy, and how thrilled I was to be a part. Those , and many others , are the precious memories I will have forever.

“George Jones was one of the most endearing, warm and friendly people I have ever had the privilege to meet. I have been lucky enough to work with George and Nancy and I am so blessed to have been a small part of their lives for a short time. While I am deeply saddened, I know his legend will live on.”
