Jimmy Dean, album, Big Bad John, photo

Years ago my parents, myself and my brothers attended the "Jimmy Dean" country performance in the Opera House in Seattle Washington. It was in the mid 1960's...a time in history when country music was very popular in the pacific northwest. And yes, he sang "Big Bad John" . Mr. Dean was a great and classic performer, I will always remember the long drive to Seattle and his wonderful program... Memories...
