Oh heck, this is bad news.
I played pick-up for George several times, as well as backing him on visits to Pebble Mill. He was a towering man with a ready and gentle smile, a benign giant in a tailored suit. While he was the first to say that he didn't have the strongest voice in the world, his personal warmth and the conviction he put into delivering songs gleamed through every note. And he bought the curry.
Thanks George.

He recorded some great songs over the years and in many ways his influence is still strong among a younger generation of country music performers
