Ramona Jones, who for many years worked with her husband, the late Grandpa Jones, was a really great old time musician. I just read in this excellent obit that she passed this week at 91. RIP.
Let’s listen to Ramona singing There’s Better Times a Comin’. I do believe that the fabulous banjo picker she has with her on this performance is Cathy Barton Para.
I have never heard of this musician before. Thanks for the lesson!
For a long time, she stayed in the background when she played with Grandpa Jones. She was always on stage with him, accompanying, but as she put it in an interview, when Grandpa Jones was on stage, he OWNED the stage.
