Make music while you can: My story

Make Music While You Can describes the life of Ramona Jones, wife of country music legend Grandpa Jones. Descriptions of her childhood are well-crafted and filled with telling detail. Jones' professional career, despite the book's title, is less revealing; she prefers to acknowledge friends rather than tell stories at any length.Though it is clearly her story, Grandpa Jones is hardly mentioned; their courtship and wedding take place in a matter of sentences. One gets the sense it was a hard life, at times, raising children while one's husband is on the road performing, simultaneously trying to sustain one's own musical career. But she lets little of that slip loose.Make Music While You Can does offer a nice collection of family photos and a discography of Ramona's work. It offers a glimpse of the real world life of a country music star's family.
