This is a very interesting thread, and I am so thrilled to see interest in my grandfather's work. Dorsey Dixon was my grandfather, and he was an incredible artist and songwriter. My dad is his youngest son, Roger. It is true that many of his songs were stolen from him by Roy Acuff, among others, including Wreck on the Highway and Great Speckled Bird, and by the time litigation was resolved, the initial interest and money from the hit songs was gone. It is sad that many early folk and country artists have been forgotten, so I am so glad to see this interest in my grandfather's wonderful work :)

Thanks for this thread!
