Take An Old Cold Tater and Appreciate!
It has been 60 years since Little Jimmy Dickens made his debut on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in 1948. Introduced by Roy Acuff, LJD quickly picked his way into the hearts of Nashville and would become the longest-standing member of the Opry . With a six-string of hits including “Country Boy,” “A-Sleeping at the Foot of the Bed,” “May The Bird of Paradise Fly up Your Nose,” “Out Behind The Barn,” “Take an Old Cold Tater And Wait,” and ”The Violet and the Rose,” Dickens has become one of the most respected artists to grace the stage.
So, in honor of Little Jimmy Dickens there will be a Signature Show celebrating the Country Music Hall of Fame member’s 60th Opry Anniversary on Saturday, Nov. 1 at the Grand Ole Opry House. There are several guests scheduled to appear like his good buddy Brad Paisley, Trace Adkins, George Jones, and a lot more I am sure. If you can’t wait til then here are two videos to curb your appetite.
