In settling the estate, she says the state of New Jersey has sent her a tax bill of $38,000 for the estimated future royalties of her father's famous song. Jody says on a special education teacher's salary, she has no way of satisfying such a huge debt.
"I would like to stay in the house I have lived with Tex, without having to resign myself to auctioning off his musical legacy," said Jody in her message to fans.
A special GoFundMe page has been set up to help raise funds. You can help by donating or sharing the information or both.

Thank you for your continued support, John. You were always there to update the bluegrass world with regards to Dad's health. I never expected this. I suppose that is one of the reasons Dad wrote a killer fiddle tune, "The Northeast Seaboard Blues". I am feeling the state of New Jersey blues. Nonetheless, 2016 is approaching and I am blessed to have friends, a job teaching special ed, my twin boys, and countless blessings. I refuse to let this estate stuff diminish my mission to preserve my father's amazing legacy. To all of your readers, have a blessed 2016...from Jody (and Tex) Logan.
