Just great, am so happy to have been able to meet Jimmie and his wife in Nashville way back in 1976 and of course I treasure a picture taken together with them as well as records he sent me
thank you, Nllson for the great job..I hope that we did justice to your work.. "Lonesome Whistle" is one of Jimmie Davis' 730 BMI titles, co-written with Hank Williams (Sr)...

Recording with Jimmie Davis was one of the most exciting things I've done in my musical career. Gov. Davis recounted some interesting experiences to us while we recorded this song. He invited me to his home right prior to his death and played a song for me he recorded entitled "Lonestome Whistle Blow," which Hank Williams had recorded years earlier. I told him "I see you recorded one of Hank's songs," to which he promptly replied.."No, Hank recorded MY song." It was a song HE had written!
I remember in 1992 CBS had a special on the country music hall of fame & Gov. Jimmie Davis did the same song with Kenny Rogers & his backup singers were the other fellow country music hall of famers. I wonder can anyone find that clip & would the please be kind enough to post it that's possible thank you for posting this.
that is Scott Innes, disc jockey and the voice of Scooby Doo,,,

Fantastic! We had Jimmie in our church located in Colorado Springs 2 times in the 70's. He came with Anna and her nephew. I'll never forget it!
