When I was about 3-4 years when we lived in Mobile Alabama my daddy was a macanic at Robertson Brothers ford Jim and Jesse did a show for A1 mobile home and my dad invited Jim and Jesse to our home to stay My Mother fixed supper for them. They played some tunes for us. I remember Jesse picking me up and holding me. I was hoping I could have seen him and ask him remember me? I guess the Lord needed another picker! Rest in peace Jesse

Jesse, you and Jim posed for a picture with me in the middle, and you two on either side. You each placed your arm around.me like we were kin. I will remember that moment until my last day. God Bless you both.

I remember listening to the Grand Ole Opry performances when I was going to Florida for Christmas in 1981.
