Mr Jesse McReynolds

I first met Jesse McReynolds in Pensacola, FL in the mid 50’s. He and Jim were doing shows for Crestview Mobile Homes owner and traveling all over north Florida and surrounding areas.

My dad also working with Mr Dobson and I had many occasions to be around Jesse and his music. I enjoyed his Music, his Demeanor both on and off the stage, but most of all his Downhome, Make you feel welcome approach to the people that were around. My dad was especially proud to have been around Jesse in those days, and I cherish each memory that I have of those times.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a Grand Musician, a Great Entertainer and a Especially Great person!

Ron Terry
