George was one of my musical idols for many years! I saw him perfporm live a couple of times. The first time was great but the second very disappointing because it was an almost "no show" night, and perhaps better if it had been! In any case I still listen to his recordings and try to sing a few of his songs.
He was one of the last truly distinct country stars after the murder on Music Row!
Rest in peace, Possum!
