Press Release: Jeannie Seely Honored By Home State Of Pennsylvania With House Resolution

There are so many country music legends among us here in Nashville, and luckily we were able to sit down with Jeannie Seely during CMA Fest 2018 to discuss her life, music, and 51 years at the Opry.

With a fun loving personality, funny sense of humor, honesty, and ability to be nice to everyone she meets, Seely has definitely set an example for other artists and human beings to follow. Remaining her genuine self whether on stage or out in public, Seely explained that it is just better to be nice to everyone in life as having to "remember" to be nice would take too much work. 

As Seely and I sat down for our conversation in the Music City Center, I asked her about her upcoming participation in the Match Game as part of the CMA Fest festivities. With a smile on her face, Seely expressed that her ultimate goal was to just make viewers laugh as she decided it was too late for her to try and be smart. I laughed as she explained how preparing for the game ended with her watching 5 episodes of the game show and only getting one answer right. I have to agree with her, I would rather focus on making others laugh as well. 

As we continued our fun conversation, we talked about our love of dogs, her friends, Dottie West finally making it into the Country Music Hall Of Fame, and so much more. She even poked a little fun at Larry Gatlin. Please do yourself a favor and watch our full conversation. Get to know Seely just a little bit more and discover why she is so well-loved in the country music industry. Her fans, friends, and peers are all better off for having the opportunity to know her and her music.
