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...

Country artists Kari Scott , Harvey Thomas, photo

In the pacific northwest we are lucky to have so much musical talent.... Kari Scott and Harvey Thomas performed in many Puget Sound venues. Their music was popular with all ages. Mainly country songs...with a mix of gospel and pop also.  One of their best:  " Snowbird" was performed every evening...sometimes seven or eight times...it was requested by the audience over and over. Harvey made the guitar music and Kari sang...great tunes and great history.  www.kariscottmusic.com for more info.
