| Abstract | Step back in time and step on the Silver Eagle tour bus as you join the George Jones Show during some of the most tumultuous and consequential times of the legendary singer's Hall of Fame career. Cocaine, whiskey, and debauchery were three brothers of the road circa 1981. Come join the family. Follow young drummer Mark T. Dunn from East Tennessee as he chases musical dreams throughout a fascinating journey. Dunn joined George Jones, arguably country music's greatest singer, ever, just as Jones' classic 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' was blowing up the charts. Overnight, Dunn went from playing barrooms and honky tonks to arenas and huge festivals. From old vans pulling a U-Haul trailer to beautiful coaches and private aircraft. George Jones was hot as a firecracker and every performance could possibly add to the legend. Good shows, bad shows, and, yes, no shows. Dunn, a trusted and loyal sideman, sat 12 feet behind the Possum every night and saw it all. Here's your chance to be part of it, too. |
