He has an absolutley fabulous CD he recently cut (in 1964 that is -- his joke) that is called "Songs I Love to Sing". It has LOTs of good steel and has many ballads on it. CD has 24 songs.

The reason I really went was because my good friend Jimmy Yates was playing steel with him.

He played about 52 dates on the Grand Old Opry and toured with Dickens quite a while.

He is a member of NTSA and is retired now living in Hendersonville, TN.

He has an original PP Emmons that he bought new in about 1968, with Midi pickups on both necks, that I wish I could afford to buy.

I was lucky enough to play it when he invited me to sit in with his great band in Phoenix , in 1972.

That PP has a real "Killer" tone that you can't believe. It even made me sound good..........al

I don't care for his last chord he usually plays.

I have the Jimmy Dickens "Songs I Love to Sing" and it is absolutely one of my favorite CD's. It's a keeper

Jimmy Dickens Is one good singer, Wished he would`ve sang these allthe time rather than the "TATER" songs

I think you`ll be glad you bought it.

Luck and Enjoy.

Oh yes shortly after ,in June I visited My son who lives in Loveland,Co, contacted Leroy and had a short but nice viait with he and his sweet wife

I bought it second handed, from a cat whose name was Drake.

I loved it like a woman, and cherished every wire.

And I'll kill the man whose sticky hands, stole my steel guitar.

I babied every pedal, and polished them each day;

Maybe someone can fill in the words or verses I forgot. Can't seem to find them on the 'net.

I don't know why, but Kitty Wells seemed to be the "female counterpart" with her "Dear John", "Mommy for a day", all the old standards etc.

"For your love for me has died, like the grass out on the lawn..."

Ya know, they just don't make 'em like they used to.
