Jim: David Akeman - Stringbean - a Bar X Boy 1939 Jim uncovers a little known fact: A future Grand Ole Opry star performed with Casey Jones with mostly Columbia, KY entertainers - though the performance was in Lexington - not Columbia, at WVLK: Stringbean. The nugget is especially appropriate with Columbia's coming of age in the Music Industry with the advent of the Red Brick Recording Studio, at 200 Public Square - Soon Information from JIM A misspelling in the first post in the Daily Statesman was repeated in the cutline for the photo of Casey Jones and the Bar X Boys of Columbia, KY - and this proofing problem masked perhaps the greatest significance of the photo: David Akeman (not Aikman) would go on to become the world famous country comedian, Stringbean. Jim writes, "The misspelling is in the cutline of the 1983 photo; most likely, the name was misspelled in the original 1939 photo as well," and sends this link: David Akeman entry in Wikipedia Thanks, JIM, for letting CM readers know. And if anyone knows if the group with David Akeman ever performed in Columbia, KY, we appreciate getting that information. -EW This story was posted on 2012-08-19 05:20:20
