Sausage Man

Jimmy Dean was not only a business man, he was also a very fine country musician and at one time he even hosted a variety television program. It was a pleasure to talk with him during a radio interview I had with him while working at KHIT.

He was a great guy and made my job of talking about the current direction of country music easy. Jimmy was worried that county-western music was heading towards a pop and rock genre, leaving its traditions behind.

We had a great time talking, music history, family, a touch of politics and a life time of experiences. A few weeks after our on-air visit, Jimmy sent me a thank-you note and an autographed picture.

Thanks for music and the memory, Jimmy.
