Yep. I've seen him on the Opry a few times, but I hear him all the time on this classic country station out of Xenia. You can periodically catch him on RFD TV, if you have satellite. Willie Nelson owns the rights to a lot of those campy 60s Nashville shows (i.e. the Porter Wagoner Show and the Wilburn Bros.), and Little Jimmy would be one of the guests. Now, I've only been to the Opry twice, both before the age of 10! The only names I remember seeing were Grandpa Jones and Dottie West.
I almost went about a month ago, mainly to see Jack "There Goes My Everything" Greene and Marty Stuart (well, to see Clarence White's Telecaster, to be more accurate), but I opted for four days in Windsor to see three hockey games, get a Wings jersey cheap, Pizza Pizza, the "**** burger" from Harveys (two rather large grilled patties, cheese, bacon, lettuce, onion, tomatoe, pickles, relish, hot peppers, mayo, and mustard) with a side of poutine (French fries topped with cheese curds and covered in gravy...good for the heart, eh?), and a Wings game on the way back home.

Didn't know that, though we have Joe Nuxhall hawking those on WLW. Funny thing about WSM. I can get that at night on my shower radio. There are Dayton stations I can't get on my shower radio!

Well, that's actually a rule of a drummer friend of mine, though I generally find that to be a good rule. But, as with any rule, there can be exceptions (just ask Einstein), and THAT band is the big exception to that rule.
