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.

Nimrod was my great-grandfather, and it's interesting to see his music move forward on the Internet. He was a wonderful man to hear tell stories as a small child, and my grandmother, his daughter, still tells some of his stories. Thanks for this episode.
