Your Favourite folk and country songs and music Old and new!"!

Watched another of the series running on PBS last night on country music. I knew George Jones had a big booze problem but it was said at one point after his final divorce from Tammy he was living in his car and weighed less than 100 pounds. There was a series that ran a couple years ago about the biggest male C&W stars and it showed George Jones was worse off out of the bunch and that is saying a lot because a lot of the stars were screwed up on dope & booze and came very near to killing themselves. Sadly, last night's program said Tammy's life was not good either with I believe they said five marriages and addiction to pain killers.
Tammy was also addicted to painkillers she had all sorts of illnesses real or imagined.., by all accounts ..and Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell and Roger Miller to name just a few were out of their heads on every pill they could swallow for many years... ...
