Re: Sail on Little Jimmy Dickens
I remember his song "May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose". My cousin, who was into country music at that time, described it as a standard "Salvation Army" beat — 4/4 time, and the lyrics written in a trochaic pattern. Sail on, Jimmy, and your place in the Grand Ol' Opry in the sky is waiting for you.
94 years old, though — he had a good run. Hope I make it that long.

I'm pretty sure that Lewis Grizzard lifted that line and used it for the title of one of his books.bodypainter wrote:On a Brad Paisley CD, featuring the Kung Pow Buckaroos, he quipped, "Aim low boys. They're riding Shetland ponies."
