Yes, it is very strange that there are no photos of Gail in later life because she was so successful behind the scenes in her TV career. I find it odd there are no pics of her posing with cast members, etc. BTW, when she returned to Nashville she married Jerry Kennedy, a guitarist, whom I interviewed. Of course, he told me very little about his late wife. But I know he was on vacation in east Tennessee when Chet or Jim summoned him to play on some of Jim's songs that were cut in May 1964 (after Reeves stopped boycotting sessions and settled his differences with RCA). Jerry said he was always glad that he interrupted his vacation to return to Nashville to play on Jim's session. I believe it was the first -- and last -- time he did.
