Grady again
It never ceases to amaze me that I still get comments on a post I made two years ago about the late Rev. Grady Nutt. I got one as recently as tonight. I must turn up when people do a Google search. If you’re looking for actual information about Grady, however, you need to go to this excellent tribute page.
I mentioned in a previous post that I planned to check out some of the “Hee Haw” marathon this weekend on CMT. It has a heavy nostalgia factor for me — we used to watch every Saturday night when I was growing up. Anyway, the episode that just started was from the era in the early 1980s when Grady was a cast member. I just caught him doing a one-liner. However, since Jerry Clower is a guest star on this episode I’m afraid it probably won’t feature Grady doing any extended stories.
UPDATE: Shows what I get for thinking — Grady did a story after all, a cute one I’d heard before about a pastor chiding a farmer for not tithing.

My husband was channel surfing last night and stopped on Hee Haw. I asked, “Is this really on?” It was funny. Guess you’d have to be there.

Thank you all for the comments about my grandfather. I am 14 years old that lives in Louisville Ky. I was one of the many people who didn’t get to meet this amazing man. And when I saw him on Hee Haw for 1 min. I cried for about 90 min. with my dad. Just about a week ago I went to Cresent Hill Baptist Church where he spent manny years. And at the very end of every service they sing the hym co wrote and my dad and I started to cry like 2 month old baby’s. It took me about 5 min. to type this because i have to stop and wipe my tears every 15 seconds. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU ALL!

[...] Today, though, was special. Grady’s grandson e-mailed me and left a comment on this post. He thanked me and all those who commmented on the original post for their words about his grandfather. [...]
