What an incredible piano player he was!

[@bluez1981]

My grandmother was the biggest George Jones fan, and she use to tell me her favorite quality was his ability to sing a sad song and be able to hear the sadness in his voice. And I would counter that Jerry Lee Lewis was the master of that quality... Everybody thinks about the fire and passion of whole lot of shaking or Great balls of fire. But in the sixties when he turned the country music and would record those songs you could hear the pain and sadness in his voice no matter what he sung it bring you to tears cuz you knew he felt whatever he was saying about I think that is a quality not many have but he had it in spades

@@StanSwan Really? Was it just the rock? Because I have heard dozens of incredible jazz performances on the show.

[@know_not_wickedness]

@@StanSwan I used to manage a live music venue and it drove us nuts having fights with our crew and the bands. Usually, we won because they weren't familiar with our setup, but we had a few massive failures when we let them do it themselves. At least they never wanted to run the lights or stage effects. Lol

[@StanSwan]

@@know_not_wickedness I would guess things are a lot different these days? Now a band can control just about everything as there are so many outlets for them to put themselves out there. In the old days to be on TV there were only 3 networks that had a monopoly. It was great for the Beatles but not so great for a new artist to break through.
