Country music legend George Jones died on Friday April 26 at age 81. Jones has been called the quintessential country singer.

WYSO general manager Neenah Ellis created a radio documentary about  Jones in 1992 for a public radio program called Soundprint.

A visit to Nashville, Tennessee during Fan Fair, an annual gathering of dedicated country music fans, serves as the backdrop for a review of George Jones long career.  Ellis takes listeners inside the recording studio as Jones makes an album that he hopes will mark his comeback.

Music fans around the Miami Valley will flock to several local record stores on Saturday, April 20th to celebrate Record Store Day 2013.  In addition to the special, limited releases, local stores are offering discounts, sales and special events to mark the day.  Ghettoblaster Magazine's Dave Obenour is helping coordinate this year's festivities which include music trivia at Blind Bob's and a special screening of I Need That Record! at the Neon Movies.  Obenour joined Kaleidoscope host Juliet Fromholt in the studio to talk about Record Store Day 2013.
