Jim Eanes (young)Though never considered a major star, Smilin' Jim Eanes was an influential figure in both bluegrass and country music for over five decades. He was born Homer Robert Eanes, Jr. in Mountain Valley, Virginia and received his first guitar at age nine from his banjo-picking father. While young, Eanes suffered an injury to his left hand; despite the difficulty and pain, he still managed to master rhythm guitar. He spent his early teen years playing square dances with his father's informal string band, and at age 16 joined Roy Hall's Blue Ridge Entertainers at a Roanoke radio station, and remained with the band until Hall died in 1943. Following World War II, Eanes joined Uncle Joe and the Blue Mountain Boys. He also worked briefly with Bill Monroe in 1948. ...more

The Parker’s would like to dedicate this record and the song « The Soldier’s Prayer » in remembrance of Paul Goggin who gave his life for his country in Vietnam.
We met Paul and learned to appreciate his dedication to the Lord while conducting a revival in Morgantown, West Virginia where his father, Reverend Julian Goggin, was the pastor.
Paul was a very unusual young man because he not only wanted to be a Christian but he wanted to serve his country too. One day he came home from college and told his father he wanted to join the Marines because he was sick of hearing the fellows at the college protesting the war in Vietnam, and so he became a protestor against them. Paul was a great testimony for the Lord while serving his country in Vienam.
Reverend and Mrs. Goggin have received some wonderful letters from fellow soldiers who were with Paul on the battlefield in Vietnam. Paul is survived by his wife, Shirley Goggin, and a son.
