Thread Name: OBIT: Governor Jimmie Davis (1899-2000)
Subject: RE: Governor Jimmie Davis. R.I.P.
Sorry for jumping back in so quickly, but I was just reminded, as I hit the submit button, that Jimmie Rodgers wrote one of my wife's favorite songs: "Be Nobody's Darling."

Eddy Arnold came to Phoenix to appear with the Phoenix Symphony back in the 1960s. My wife and I gave a party for Eddy and she mentioned to him that "Be Nobody's Darling" was one of her favorite songs.

Months later she called me at my office and told me she had found a new Eddy Arnold LP at one of the local record stores, and one of the cuts on the LP was, "Be Nobody's Darling." I think she believed, to the very end, that she was responsible for him including that song on his next recording after his appearance in Phoenix. I still have that LP, and it is priceless to me.

Sorry for the thread creep.
