End of an Era of Songs and Sausages - Jimmy Dean 1928-2010

Jimmy Dean was rsponsible for two country music stars getting their starts. One is Patsy Cline (Crazy) and the other is the reason I play the guitar, Roy Clark.

Roy was the lead guitarist in Jimmy Dean's band when he had his local tv show in Washington DC. Dean fired him because he's always tardy (Dean was strict for punctuality).

When Dean guest hosted The Tonight Show, he introduced Roy Clark to a nationwide audience. Clark would go on to host Hee Haw.

As I eat his sausage & his flap sticks (sausage dipped in pancake batter ala a corn dog), he will be missed.
