I'd like to see both of them live before they get too old.

I've been pleasently suprised by the level of country talent that makes it's way through New York City (I saw Kris Krisofferson open for George Jones at Carnegie Hall on Halloween) but it's not the same as seeing it back home.

It sounds like Jackson ran out of money and is looking for anything he can get. Jessica - Yea, it's a classic. Trent Summar (sp?) just recorded a cover, but in my opinion he butchered it. Norma - That's what I'm saying. I have the 20th marked on my calendar just so I'm sure to get some.

No gray hairs on the stage? Look at tonights lineup, with artists like Jeannie Seely (66), Jimmy Dickens (86), George Hamilton IV (69), Del McCoury (66), John Conlee (60) and Bobby Osborne (75). Jimmy Dickens is the oldest Opry member and he plays almost every show. I don't even think there's anybody under 40 performing tonight. I think there is something going on at the Opry (the negative publicity described above) but to say it is about age discrimination should get you laughed out of court.
