Grandpa Jones -- A Tribute To Stringbean

Didn't Grandpa find String and his Wife the next moring after they were killed?

Sad....what a talented couple of guys.

String's letters from home was one of the best skits on Hee Haw......what a nice tribute from Grandpa......hope the fish are bitin' in heaven.

We'll get to see them live someday.

Very nice. I loved Ole String's music. I miss Granpa too. This was when country music was good. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for posting. I really liked Grandpa Jones. He was a such a sweet man. I waited tables for a restaurant in Goodlettsville. Every Sunday he and his wife sat in my section. One day, he found a $20 bill that flew off my tray. He chased me around the place for about 10 mins to give me the money. He was laughing, out of breath when he caught me. He was so funny, great 'Joe player, and a lost hero to country music. RIP Grandpa Jones & his sweet buddy, Stringbean!

i would think alot of the other entertainers,new and old.

was today november 11,1973,was that the anniversary of the murder?
