What a joy to talk with him about Mother Jones, his mining experiences and life in general. He was unabashed, knew the story and was an Appalachian treasure. Actually, I was doing research on coal mining and about 4am this morning I awakened by thoughts about Nimrod and wanted to find something on the internet about him. Thanks for the site.

He wanted to see Fr. Bill Daniels, JCA executive director, about a booking at the Laurel Theatre. I must have had a skeptical look on my face, because he immediately rared back and started singing, just as he had in the movie. What a voice, what a memorable character. I'm glad I had the privilege of meeting him, if only for a few moments.
