Having done
several art projects, which include a mural on one of George’s tour
busses a few years ago, and knowing that Jones always appreciated Yates’
artistic talents, Nancy Jones asked the award-winning singer/songwriter
to design all of the outdoor signs for the new museum. “This was a true
labor of love for the artist that has done so much for me personally
and for my career. It was an absolute honor to design the signs, knowing
that it would be the first thing people see as they approach the museum
on 2nd Avenue in Nashville,” says Yates, who wrote a total of six songs for the Country Music Legend.
