    Momma Rock Responds!

    February 11, 2011

    This was sent to me by my Mom this morning, Thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share.

    Hi Bob,
    Been thinking a lot about you out on the road in this unbelievable weather. Cudos to you for your response to those whinning about not being able to make it.You wouldn't have won if you cancelled. I remembered this morning while I was excercising and listening to Mr. Cash on my Ipod about the time Dad and I went to see George Jones and Tammy Wynette at Meadowbrook. It was late Sept. and in the 20s. We went in our hats, gloves and warm coats. The warm up act played, then Tammy and then the warm up act again. About 10pm people started to leave and as they did we kept moving up closer-never even thinking about going home (although we probably should have,because who knows what was going on there.) No show Jones finally came on about 11pm and by then we were about 3 rows back and saw one hell of a show. We went home raving about the show and always had something to talk about when George Jones was in the news. We still are fans to this day. At least he showed up-probably drunk and all. And as far as refunding the money-that's over and above the call of duty, but that shows your character and that is something I'm so proud of. Looking forward to seeing you In March.

    Love, Mom

    ....... And George played until 1am and Meadowbrook shut the lights down!!!!

Kid - you are by far the best live singer I have ever seen. We were at you Birthday Bash - and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it. Best concert we have ever been to. Stay true to who you are and keep on doing what you do best- rocking it out!!!!! In life there are always those who want to bring us down. NOT WORTH IT. The ones that matter most will always be there for you - ME included!! LUV U!!

Oh I just Love,Love,Love your MOTHER!!! She is a George Jones FAN. So Am I, Of course I have two Aunt's who would catch the moon for some JONES. And that is just great that your Mother likes him as much as they do. She sounds like a cool mom, very supportive, That is nice for you to have that. Well momma if you read this or any fan mail, you know how much your son is LOVED by his FANS. Even though I do not have money "didn't get me T-shirt at his Birthday bash", my cousin bought my ticket and I can't be a paid fan-club member. I am still a very faithful Fan. Mrs.Richie, You brought up a very fine MAN,in every way that matters. So good going. PEACE & FAITH & HOPE & LOVE & ROCK & ROLL FOREVER

What an awesome mom you have Kid!! God Bless you for being such a sweetheart because most musicians wouldn't have cared less if their fans could make it to the show. Most only care about the money. Keep on Rockin' it Kid!! Any chance of you coming to Raleigh, NC anytime soon?
