My time with Little Jimmy Dickens

Ron Hogan · From: Nashville, TN, usa

I had a great find yesterday. I worked for Little Jimmy Dickens on the Grand Ole Opry for a year in 1981. There was a show they did called "Back stage at the Opry".

I've been looking for the video for 39 years and finally found it. I had a ball with him being one of the "Country Boys", his band. Many stories I could tell!

I feel years later here, I've seen my playing technique truly increase in all ways. Back 39 years ago I played very little C6 tuning. Now I use it all the time and really am drawn to it. If I had to do that tune again, it would be on C6 vs. E9th.

Here is the video. The Dickens part starts at about 14:05.

Don't be to hard on me!

Ron you did great. Those were some good times in country music. You were in the thick of it.
