I had a novelty record as a kid that had "May the Bird of Paradise" on it, and so I knew who Jimmy Dickens was from the time I was 4 or 5 years old. When my family went on a vacation to Nashville when I was about 8, I was really excited to see his foot and hand prints in cement and I thought it was cool that, at age 8, I had bigger feet than him. So he's always been one of my favorites.
RIP

Damn. Never heard any of his songs, but thanks to Brad Paisley, I know who he is. The CMA Awards are going to feel empty without him. RIP

Before Brad Paisley, he was the biggest country music star from West Virginia. I always thought it was cool that Paisley and Dickens struck up a friendship. My Dad got the chance to meet Little Jimmy Dickens once back in the 70's and said Dickens was really humble and grateful for the opportunity to play music for a living. Rest in peace, Little Jimmy Dickens.

I grew up watching the Grand Old Opry, this is upsetting.

As soon as I read the news I thought about this moment from the 2010 CMA awards.
