Hank Cochran Tells a Story About Him and George Jones

[@frankdodgee]

George lived the fullest life. At least he had fun 🤩

[@keithkauffmanTexas]

This is treasure. Hank Cochran is a big part of traditional country music. Him and Dean Dillon from a songwriting standpoint.

[@gregjwelsch]

Truth, brother! An honor to know and work with Hank putting this together. More influential to country music than will ever be known!

[@keithkauffmanTexas]

@@gregjwelsch That's awesome you got to work with him. Thanks for the reply, brother Greg.

Oddly, old Hank’s story is perfectly believable. God bless Hank and the old possum.

My favorite country music singer, George Jones ... He was a wild man at times. Lol .

[@americanjoe4955]

I had two encounters with George, one when our band was sound checking at the Hall of fame hotel in Nashville, around noon, and George came in and ordered a mixed drink (no really?) and I went into the "Grand Tour" in his honor, and George said "That guy is better than me today" You know George was "in voice" about half the time so---The next encounter was in Mobile , George was SUPPOSED to be in concert in Gulfport/Biloxi but was a "NO SHOW". He checked in at the I65 Holiday Inn, and the girls there knew me, called me at the Blue Jay Lounge where I was playing, and I went over to see George, got a picture of George and me with two gals who worked the Holiday Inn; Lying in bed! LOL We did some singing then too, and I went back after my Gig and George had locked people out, those girls would not leave him alone. George drove a Chevy S10 with a "I love Country Music" tag on the front. I was really glad when George quit drinking. It made him the wild Man. RIP George my Hero, (& MERLE)

[@HerbWalker]

'You combed her hair'... was MY MaMas favorite GJ song. MaMa turned me on to George in 1965 with ALL those albums she played when I came home from school. I still have mamas album where he sang with Melba Montgomery. Man, what a GREAT duet on ALL those songs there!!

Love it..

[@kdwilson7019]

I'm related to him

[@JohnDongvillo]

Don't forget Vern Gosdin!

[@gregjwelsch]

We never would! I, personally, think that "Chiseled in Stone" is the best country song ever written and Vern sang it better than anyone else could!

[@1bls]

sounds like someone is walking upstairs and downstairs over and over again.

[@stephenharbisonsr.4557]

I knew his mama, brother Butch .

[@iamericadenise]

[@matthewmo3956]

Hello erica

[@J_Sinn]

Thats an awesome story but I have questions that you didn't answer. Who was the guy the hit you?, Why did he hit you?, How long did you stay under the table? Did anyone try come to your aid?, Where the cops called?, Did you ever get your coffee?, What happened next?. So many questions......

[@bellesmom238]

George was at tootsies , quite drunk , when he followed porter wagoner in the bathroom , were he grabbed Porter by his Pecker and led him back into the bar area , yep thats George

[@galemakutty]

I'm I the only one hearing that annoying sound like somebody's tapping their foot on the floor 🤔🙄😱

[@gregjwelsch]

No! That wss Hank. We mentioned it but he was nervous when we filmed him and he couldn't stop! We cut and put sound blankets down but you could still hear it! LOL!

[@galemakutty]

[@willienelsontunes]

@@gregjwelsch It looked like the Chair he was sitting in was tapping against the wall when he moved?
