Great song... Falling Leaves. Art.

One of the true legends of Country Music! Grandpa had that aire about him that just made you sit back, get comfortable, and enjoy his company. Sure do miss folks like him and Minnie Pearl..............they made the Opry and music seem inviting. Thank you for sharing this vid and song. It's a blessing!

@TheLingnerFamily This line is printed on Grandpa Jones' headstone. He wrote this beautiful song
-
My uncle used to play guitar and sing this all the time when i was little and i just now found out where it came from
-
The first time I heard Grandpa Jones was in 1955 on a Jukebox in rural Montana. His song was "I like blueberry pie says I". What a delightful performer, only laughs and smiles.

He gave so much,only God can calculate
-
A great artist, a cool guy. Seems to be written for Stringbean before his death..... Fate is funny as well as fickle.

@TheLingnerFamily The line you quoted"The only thing you take is what you gave away" from the song is also seen ithe backround framed and hanging on the wall in a scene from "It's a Wonderful Life" at the Bank office of George Baily's father. I'm not sure of the origin of the quote but yes it is an interesting thought. Both Grandpa and his wife Romona were good Christian folk and often sang old hyms and songs of inspiration and were loved by friends family and their fans.

I agree with the comments about the current state of affairs with country music and music period. There's still people making great music, but it's certainly not under the brand name of modern country. The industry has succeeded in ruining music completely. And American Idol hasn't helped matters either. It's viewed by millions who think "that" is what music is all about. Boy, do they need to wake up!

I love the line "The only thing you take is what you gave away" And I would bet Grandpa took a lot with him.
