Mark Zaleski/Associated Press Fans wait outside the Grand Ole Opry for the public funeral service for George Jones.Not many funerals are held at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. But the service for George Jones, the hard-drinking singer considered by some critics to be the definitive country singer of the last half-century, is one of them. Today his funeral at the music hall, the closest thing that country music has to a cathedral, will be streamed live at 11 a.m. Eastern time on the Opry’s Web site and in audio at wsmonline.com. It will also be broadcast live on several networks â€" CMT, GAC, RFD-TV and FamilyNet. The service is bound to feature some good music. The lineup of performers includes Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Ronnie Milsap, Brad Paisley, the Oak Ridge Boys, Tanya Tucker and Wynonna.
