What many do not know is that George Jones, Janis Joplin, Tex Ritter (Tantamount entertainer to Roy Rogers) Mark Chesnutt, Clay Walker, Tracy Byrd, Jimmy Johnson, (former Dallas Cowboy Coach), Bum Phillips (Former Houston Oilers/New Orleans Saints Coach) all grew up within 30 miles of each other in the Beaumont - Orange, Port Arthur, Texas - Southeast Texas Region. In his hometown, there are no statues, no plaques, no roads, no schools named in his memory.

This is one of my favorite recordings by George Jones. A beautiful song. One day when I was really hurting emotionally. I listened to this song and it made me feel better and got me through the rest of the day. Great performance of this song on Hee Haw!!. Love it!!.

Takes me back when I listened to the song but I didn't know who George Jones was. He was most definitely the king of country music and the life of my life. Love you George Jones, missed your live performance years ago.

My dad turned me on to George when he took me with him to a bar and sent me to a push button jute box..I was 16..I enjoyed hanging with him..as I grew older my love for George Jones music grew..me and my dad became good friends.. probably my best..we had our ups and downs but we were able to have an understanding...so as time passed we listened to many songs by George..and I even turned him on to some he never heard..but he's gone now and I discovered this song..he probably already knew of it..but it never got played..now I wish we could have a beer and go play the jute box and sang to this one..love u pops

“Chunkin’ and Windin’” was the perfect theme song for Hank Parker’s Outdoor Magazine, which ran for two seasons in the mid-eighties. The song is catchy and easy to remember, and it also has a great beat that is perfect for fishing. Eddie Reasoner really knew how to capture the essence of the fishing experience with his music. This song always makes me want to grab my pole and tackle and head out to the lake.👍

When I have no work, you can find me out on the water. I've fished in the bayou and the ocean, on mountain streams and lakes. I love to fish, and I'm pretty good at it. I recently fished with Hank Parker, who's a fishing legend. We made some great memories and, man, did we catch some fish. We were out on the water all day and as the sun started to set, we decided to call it a night. I had a great time. I think we'll have to do it again soon.👍

George was right when, in later years, he sang: “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes?” There’s no one today who compares to George, Conway, Merle, Willie, Waylon, George Strait, not to mention all the great female singers, Patsy, Loretta, Tammy, Tanya, Dottie, and Reba.

@@MarcosBryant-lj8zi Great question. I guess it’s just his ability to be the song he’s singing. It just pulls me in. When I hear this particular song I feel life where I grew up in NC. The town is pretty much gone now and I could envision a montage of pictures from the ‘50s and ‘60s of the town. I have long wondered if all the “pouring his heart out when he sang“ had a personal impact on George. We know their breakup had a bad impact on both Tammy and George. Their story is the stuff opera is made of. Did I mention I am an opera lover? Yep. George’s talent affects lots of people.
