Always Country has lost a good friend and fellow DJ

He was born as Ronald Ecklund, took a stage name, Jerry Jones...."Have Guitar Will Travel", but in the last time of his life he was our friend and DJ Country.

A humble man, a giving man, be it his time devoted to the station, building computers for listeners and DJ's, or just chatting with you when you needed an ear to lament your troubles. How about, mentoring in AA, volunteering for the Fire Department, veteran of the Viet Nam war? This is the mark of a great man, who simply didn't recognize his greatness.

His life was his voice and his guitar, the perfect team. He never made it big, but over the years entertained thousands in bars and clubs. Now he's made the bigtime, right up there with Roy, Gene and the Duke.

He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.



Country's biography
I was born in a little hick town in Ohio. I left when I was seventeen and I've never been back. I did a stint in the US Navy at seventeen and afterwards decided to start my singing career. I sang all over our great country but never hit the big time though many said I should have.

Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, John Wayne and Sam Elliot were a few of my movie hero's. I enjoy a variety of movies, Country Music, singing Country Music & playing my guitar now and good friends.

I landed in the beautiful Reno, Nevada valley in 1986, where I’ve lived since and love it, it’s beautiful. Surrounded by mountains, we have awesome sunsets, and, for me, it’s a great sight to wake up to, I personally love the mountains.

I am actively involved, (since 1995) in a non-profit organization and have helped many people which is what I choose to do these days. Help folks.

I always wanted to try DJ'ing, but never had the opportunity, and thanks to Gramps, here I am. I hope all enjoy my show, and other than getting all the new music for you, if you have a ideas for my show that will make you feel more at home, feel free to email me and let me know.
