[tots-junction-baby-shop]

What a lovely surprise we had this morning the King of the Opry and the Oldest Living Member Of The Grand Old Opry age 89 Mr Jimmy Dickens.... it cant get any better than this what an honour for us....He signed Jess' photo and had a couple of goes at the playing card as I think the Ink smudges....he had to change pens!and he signed our envelope.....

And we also got a photo back from Keni Thomas ex Military man now sings Country new to Nashville but who knows ........We've got him early!

He has a lovely autograph and I think we've trapped he's added" send me " send me what ???

Nice one Jane, great results.

The ish 6:8 "Send Me" is proberbly from the Bible, I did a quicj google search and found this. I think its Isaiah Chapter 6 verse 8 which reads

"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?" "Here I am," I said; "send me!"

Sorry about the deleted photo but although I wanted to show Jimmy Dickens handwriting on the envelope it was his home address and hadnt realised until I'd done it...

Well done Jane.

Really impressed with the Jimmie Dickens.  What a great photograph.  The guitar is a Gibson J200, one of the largest acoustics around -- Ironic as Jimmie is one of the smallest country performers around.   A wonderful man, with a great sense of humour.

Equally impressed with the with the  Keni Thomas.  I've not heard  much of his music, but what I have heard is very good. 

#3 -- I'm impressed --   Isaiah 6.8.  has been the inspiration behind some great songs -- Mississippi John Hurt's " Here I am Oh Lord Send Me" being one and "Send Me Lord" by Richie Furay being another. 

Keni Thomas served as a staff sergeant with the  75th Rangers during "Operation Restore Hope" in Somalia, winning the Bronze Star with distinction for Valour. He  was also close to Harold "Hal" Moore who saw action at  Ia Drang in Vietnam.  I suppose that having gone through such dangerous and traumatic experiences, and lived through them reaffirms faith .  Ps 149:1
