@@frankiedaymodels8529 I played with him some in his later years. (1993) He was a little more calmed down by then. lol but I saw him get mad at a sound man when he hit the fog machine. Oh he was MAD!!!! I had to sit my guitar down and run out the stage door around the building through policeman and traffic through the front door. Tell them who I was & get to the soundman and tell him to cut it off. He was pissed!

I was blessed enough to play guitar in his band October 1993.

He could sing every song a little differently each night & every single version would make your hairs stand up. Especially when we did Old Violin & In memory of a memory. R.I.P.

Lets get this strait. Paul Wayne did not work for George Jones, ever. I worked for George in the sixties along with my two brothers, Don and Gary Adams. We took Paul with us a time or two. Paul Angel started Donny Young/aka/ Paycheck in the music field in Greenfield, Oh. George influenced Paycheck and Paycheck influnced us. Paul Wayne did give me a start as his drummer. I will always give him credit for that.

Sonny Curtis on the steel is not the Sonny Curtis who played with Buddy Holly. This one was from my hometown of Chillicothe, which also hosted Johnny as a guest for several years. Charlie Justice, the fiddle player, also played on some Connie Smith records, and I have a CD of him playing in a band called Slim Starr and the Nighthawks in Columbus back in the '60s. They play a couple of George Jones songs. Quite a tight Ohio network of country musicians it seems.
