During the depression years of the 1930s, Asher Sizemore and his son, Little Jimmie, were very popular radio personalities, broadcasting mostly from Louisville KY. Jimmie was only about 5 years old when they started singing together. He won the hearts of children and adults everywhere as he sang songs like "Chawin’ Gum" or when he signed the show off with "As I Lay Me Down To Sleep". They were also regulars on WSM's Grand Ole Opry from 1933 to about 1943. Asher established a very successful mail-order service for their annual books of Hearth & Home Songs.(photo above) They also made transcription disc recordings that Asher syndicated to stations throughout the south and Midwest. Listen to these old radio broadcast's, and hear Asher and Little Jimmie sing right from their hearts. You will also hear Asher and announcer James Alderman as they sell the above mentioned song books. Folks, this is true historic country radio.
