I enjoyed Jimmy's songs and his show from Washington brought Elton Britt and Billy Grammer among others into our family living room, and we did not get many big time musicians and singers in Sedley, Virginia.

He was a smooth singer and always enjoyable but but his recitations were a little different and really got my attention. Among favorites are the Darktown Poker Club and Please Pass the Biscuits.

I also appreciated what he did for sausage because he did up the quality of what was available at the time. My wife decided sausage was not good for us and I have missed it. I need to get a package of premium pork mild country sausage to celebrate Jimmy's life.
