Jesse McReynolds taking it easy
(Nashville, TN-8.5.13) Jesse McReynolds,
Grand Ole Opry Legend and a member of the Bluegrass Hall
of Fame, Master mandolin pioneer
and bluegrass songwriter par excellence, is at home and wearing a heart monitor
after being diagnosed recently with an irregular heartbeat. He still maintains
a touring schedule, after celebrating his 84th birthday in July. His
doctors have asked him to keep a low profile while they determine whether he
needs to have a pacemaker installed. Jesse’s wife Joy tells us that
he is feeling well.

“He
is up and about, but trying not to overdo it until we get a handle on
this. The hardest part for an active guy like him is taking it easy.
But he’s playing his mandolin and taking advantage of this time to
practice and write new songs.
