RIP Jimmy Dean

Jimmy Dean loomed larger in my life as a singer than as a maker of sausages.  His passing is another one of those sad milestones that seem to be zooming by these days.

When we lost Paul Newman, Big Kid Cousin and I both picked up bottles of Newman's Own salad dressing--our small remembrance of a wonderful actor and fine human being.  Looks like I'll be tasting some of Jimmy Dean's sausage soon and thinking about what he has meant to this country.
