Little Jimmy Dickens -- Shopping For Dresses





The theme of our next meeting is something on "Romance" and I could have selected a poem by Shakespeare or Rumi or Andrew Marvell, or countless others, or even something more modern but here's a singer/songwriter from the great age of country and western and with a voice and delivery that our modern friends can only dream of. Not well known in Ireland and there are many versions of this, great ones by Merle Haggard and Randy Travis, but Jimmy wrote it! With thanks to J.W. Gauntt who posted and youtube.
