Title: Grand Ole Oprey's Little Jimmy Dickens, 94
Post by: IronDioPriest on January 02, 2015, 09:57:51 PM

A flurry of obits, it seems.

I never knew anything about Little Jimmy Dickens (http://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/2015/01/02/little-jimmy-dickens-opry-star-dies-obit/21210809/) until Brad Paisley hit it big and featured Jimmy in several of his music videos. He was a funny character.

My dad used to listen to some of his music. Along with Merle Haggard, George Jones, and the rest.

RIP, Jimmy.
