Re: Anyone for Jimmie?
Big fan of Jimmie Rodgers - I have recordings of nearly everything he did, plus several tribute records including the great one by Merle Haggard. Been to the museum in Meridian MS too. I used to listen to him with my grandpa when I was a kid. Somewhere I have some 78 rpm records of his that were my grandpa's.
In the early 1970s there was a dancehall in Dallas called The Western Place. Several of us where I worked at the time would stop by there after work a couple times a week during happy hour. They had a piano player who could play and sing just about anything and everything. She was an older woman (I was early 20s so just about every woman was older
).
One day I asked her to play some Jimmie Rodgers. She did and then said to me "Sugar, how do you know about Jimmie Rodgers?". I named off several of his songs, and she proceeded to play them all. We went back frequently and she always asked what Jimmie Rodgers songs I wanted to hear - I think she knew everything he ever recorded. Then one day she was gone - they said she just left - never found out what happened to her.
Oh yeah - the "house band" that played there most nights then was a not so well-known someone named Willie Nelson.

I used to have him in my pandora along with a bunch of blue grass artists but I let'em out. I listen to most of my favorites on YouTube anymore.
