T.Texas Tyler was one of Jimmy Dicken's Hero's. The Linville Sisters, my mother, Dollie Linville Hill and her sister Ruth Linville sang on "The Old Farm Hour" with Litttle Jimmy Dickens and T.Texas Tyler. When Mother's Sister Ruth was struck and killed by a drunk driver. T.Texas Tyler wrote a song about Ruth mother's sister. "The Buried Her Beneath The Willows" T.Texas Tyler, as mom related to me, really loved Ruth's talent to sing and play the Mandolin. Mother and Ruth sang, also, on the program with Grand Paw Jones. Had Ruth not died in that horrible accident, they would have probably been on The Grand Ole Opry. The night before Ruth was killed, they were attending a Revival in their home community, at The Woodville Elementary School. She, Ruth and a bunch of their friends were going to the Altar, when the invitation was given, when one of her friends said, 'Dollie let's don't get saved tonight, let's go to Madison and go dancing. They all turned and walked out and the very next night in sight of The Woodville School, where the Revival was going on, her sister was struck and killed. Guy Gillenwater came along and took the back seat of his car, to place mother's sister Ruth on. As mother knelt over her dying sisters body, mother cried out to Jesus and her heart to Jesus. Mother, always wondered if her sister had time to repent and felt she was responsible for her sister not going to the Altar the night before. That was the end of Mother and Ruth, The Linville Sisters Singing. We Salute The Memory of lil Jimmy Dickens.

My Pa was born in Texas, my Ma in Tennessee They were married in the summer of 1883. They moved to California the place where I was born In a long covered wagon, on a bright September morn'. My cradle was my saddle, my play things a gun. And shooting at the rattle-snakes, was my idea of fun. Till at the age of seventeen, was then I left my home. The open range was calling, and my time had come to roam. I met a pretty maiden, the flower of the plain. I married her one morning, which shows I had no brain. She said she was a maiden, but oh how she did lie. Before the honey-moon was over, seven kids were by her side. I was very disappointed, but then I didn't mind. I still remained her husband, honest true and kind. Until one day I found her upon a strangers knee. As a long lost cousin, I was introduced to him. I knew that she was lying, so I pulled my gun and said You sneaking low down coyote, and I filled her full of lead. The judge he found me guilty, he sentenced me for life. But I'd rather be in prison, than with a worthless wife. Hello everyone, I'm a semi-retired broadcaster in Tallahassee, Fla. I never worked at a country station so now I am finally doing what I love. My station is called Big D Country and plays country from the early 50s to the present. It is heard on Live365, TuneIn and Radio Terra. It is Internet only but I am working hard to get a noncommercial FM station on the air here as we no longer have classic country in the market. I welcome requests and will do my best to get them on the air. I also host a country gospel show on Sunday mornings. I would welcome any support the country community can offer. Website is http://www.bigdcountry.com and my email is alanmccal@hotmail.com When I was about 12 I went to a concert featuring Connie Smith, Tom T Hall, Johnny Rodriquez and about six others.

B.B.R. - goldie1440@aol.com Posted January 2, 2013 I have a friend who is of a certain age now but still quite, beautiful. I know her as Connie Burns but she was happily married to the late, great "Happy Hal" Burns, a well known singer on the "Country Boy Eddy Show" here in Birmingham which was on television for at least 30 years. Mr. Burns was also well known in Memphis. Connie was in a movie, I believe about Ernest Tubbs, but I can't find a copy of it. She was only about 16 when she was in the movie; a beautiful blonde who probably sang. I was in a church group with her which went to entertain at nursing homes every Monday, but she fell last season and hasn't been able to come back. She was always introduced as a movie star and the wife of Mr. Burns, which thrilled her. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of this movie? I know her church would have a celebration for her, as she misses being without her music. Thank you! Joan S.

My father wrote and recorded several songs in the late 40s and into the 50s, including one that is on a CD, Hixville....his name was Otis Parker. He and my mother divorced when I was 12 and I didn't see him for many years. He had moved to Reno and was performing and recording there under the name of Jimmy Parker (his full name was James Otis Parker). We had several of his old records but in the 70s someone broke into our home and busted all of them to pieces. I saw my father twice in my adulthood, once when he was hospitalized in Nashville and we picked him up and took him home, and then a couple of years later I went to his funeral. I do have some of his later music which he recorded while living in Nevada, but it's his early recordings I am looking for. We lived in many cities and he recorded something in just about every one of them, since he worked for radio stations and had access to recording studios. He was born and raised right outside of Nashville and when he and my mother first married in the 40s he was working for the Opry. If anyone has anything that you think might would be my fathers work, I would love to hear from you. Cheryl Parker (repost due to change of email) CHERYL PARKER - cparkergirl7@gmail.com Posted February 7, 2011 I am just an ordinary citizen who writes poetry. My son's name is George W.

He sings with a group called Rockapella. The group sings Acapellla. Back in 1996, I wrote a country song, and had it copywrited. My son said that song was good. He said I should check into getting some to sing and record this song. I never did anything with the song. I do have a tune to it, and basically looking for a Country Singer/Artist who my be interested in the song. I feel it is pretty good. May be a hit someday.

We think his name might have been Raymond Smith. Was at one time married to a Marlyn Bogan Calloway from Borger, Texas. They had a son who never knew anything until recently. The son would like to meet the Dad if we can find. The son is my niece's husband. The person we are trying to find was aware he had a son. A divorce took place when the child was about 18 months old. If someone has any idea who this man might be and if he has any interest please email me.

Drop me an e-mail bud. Michael T - taylorleejackson@yahoo.com Posted April 7, 2010 Hello. My father wrote and recorded several songs in the late 40s and into the 50s, including one that is on a CD, Hixville....his name was Otis Parker. He and my mother divorced when I was 12 and I didn't see him for many years. He had moved to Reno and was performing and recording there under the name of Jimmy Parker (his full name was James Otis Parker). We had several of his old records but in the 70s someone broke into our home and busted all of them to pieces. I saw my father twice in my adulthood, once when he was hospitalized in Nashville and we picked him up and took him home, and then a couple of years later I went to his funeral. I do have some of his later music which he recorded while living in Nevada, but it's his early recordings I am looking for. We lived in many cities and he recorded something in just about every one of them, since he worked for radio stations and had access to recording studios. He was born and raised right outside of Nashville and when he and my mother first married in the 40s he was working for the Opry. If anyone has anything that you think might would be my fathers work, I would love to hear from you. Cheryl Parker - cparkergirl7@yahoo.com Posted March 30, 2010 Hi Everyone. ..

Thanks, Terry - tkone@tpg.com.au Posted March 22, 2010 I am charter board member Of Rock Country Hall of fame, now known as Mid America Music Hall Of Fame. Established in1999, we are now in our 10th production year. (1 year was taken off to accomplish new goals: we no longer use outside facilities, but will now use our own facility located in Pine River, Mn.) As a musician and music collector (records, posters, cards, media articles, etc.) I was enlited to join the founders and have since become research director, photographer, and PR expert. Among my duties, I am a go-fer, advisor, and do other needed things such as promotion. This year starts a new 'chapter' in our format and mine as well. We are requesting all musicians, both those already on our roster as well as new comers, to provide us with their email addresses. We no longer will be sending snail-mail invitations. This is due to cost and expediancy considerations. Everything seems to be done now via computer. Those familiar with us know we are still an honorarium organization dedicated to recognition of musicians and music related entities for their contribution, large or small, to Minnesotas music industry. Included are those from other states who have contributed or have ties to the Minn. music scene. These are our fellow musicians from N.Dak, S. Dak, Iowa, Wisc, and others states (Canada) who have played here or recorded here. Should you have any interest in this type of organization, please be aware that we have in the past years inducted the likes of Bob Dylan, Bobby Vee, Dave Dudley, The Green Men, Unbelievable Ugles, Tornados, Canoise, Lynn Anderson, Larry Vern, Whiskey River, Big John Dickerson, Willy Walker, and countless others, including the likes of Arnie Fogel, Amos Heilcher (SOMA records), and so many more. Please feel free to email me at mnrocker1@yahoo.com or call me, Larry at 218-820-8303 for further info. Other sources for contact are Doug, 218-820-8301 and Cindy, 218-820-8302. We welcome any & all input or recommendations as to inductees. Since we are an open honorarium, we include rock and roll of the 50s-80s, as well as classic country, blues and other music of years gone by. Music often knows no boundaries and often is picked up by succeeding generations. We try to exclude nobody nor any style. Also, any collectible items looking for a home can be mentioned to me for my personal collection, or, in the event our museum efforts stabilize, may be donated for loan to the MAMHOF. Check out our current museum offerings, located in Albert Lea at the Eddie Cochran Museum. Let's hear from and and we hope you all keep rockin' bringing live music to all.
