In tribute to her friend Dottie West, Jeannie hosted several fundraising concerts for the Nashville Musicians Emergency Relief Fund, and helped keep our fund going through the pandemic. She was a beautiful person, amazing songwriter, and artist, and I was proud to be on her album "An American Classic" and also to present her with a proclamation thanking her and making her an honorary member of AFM Local 257. She was s excited to be a member. Rest in Peace and Harmony, Dave Pomeroy
