Jean & Kitty at rehearsal studio in Rockhampton Queensland Australia 1998
Kitty's husband Johnny Wright sitting on chair & Allan Tompkins on bass
Who would have ever thought, (including that little girl from back in the hills of Meander in Tasmania)
that in 1989, she would be bestowed with the equivalent title, and be crowned the "Queen of Country Music of Australia" just like her life long Idol Miss Kitty Wells
And the highlight to this story is that Miss Kitty Wells recognized Jean's title by recording with her and then co-starring together in live concerts under the banner of the " Queens of Country"
Jean has also become a personal friend of Miss Kitty's family. Husband Johnny Wright and son Bobby Wright appeared with them on the "Queens of Country" Tour.
