ORIGINAL: kidwell34 how long do you suppose he was on the road-Years wise? I'm guessing at least 20+ years starting with his family, The Wilburns, and then 12 years with Gold City. One of my favorite albums from the Wilburns is "Sing It" from 1988 when they were just a trio with Jonathon, Jackie & Elaine. Actually, when they did that recording in '88, they had been singing for quite a few years prior to that, so it's reasonable to think it's closer to 30 years. I have 2 or 3 LPs of The Wilburn Family when Jon's two brothers, Jimmy & Jay (and Jim's wife. Kathy) were singing in the group, as well. Even before that, when Jackie & Elaine sang with two other groups, the young child, Jon was featured from time to time as a soloist. I know that doesn't really count so much when you're looking at a fulltime career, but it's still a pretty impressive tenure, either way. I've know them for over 20 years. I love me some Wilburns! The entire family is precious to me and mine. I really miss 'em. Needin' to check on 'em all, I guess, it's been a while since I talked to Mama'Laine.
