1. Groundbreaking for the new Jimmy Dean museum was held June 14th in Plainview, Texas, at Wayland Baptist College. Plainview is his hometown and he and his wife once gave the school a $1 million donation.
His biggest hit was "Big Bad John" which went to #1 in 1961. A few days ago, I mentioned that the song was recorded on August 18, 1961. Another big hit was "P.T. 109" which peaked at #8 in 1962. It was about President Kennedy's World War II service.
And then, he got into the sausage and breakfast biz.
2. On August 8th, Paul Revere, 76, announced that he would no longer perform on the road anymore with his group, now called Paul Revere's Raiders. His son, Jamie, will rejoin the band. The family business, you know.
