- Barely 20 yrs old here and just hired by Mike Johnson to play in Bill Anderson's band. My first television show as a part of this band was recorded in 1984 and aired on TNN on a show that unfortunately ran only one season. The original masters were destroyed in a fire that is a tremendous loss I will never understand. Along with those were also lost all of the YOU CAN BE A STAR shows, THE CHARLIE DANIELS ROUNDUP and many other shows I was blessed to be a part of and hoped that my kids would see on television in reruns for years to come. (at least the Nashville Now shows I filled in for Jerry Whitehurst for a few years are still out there). But what a shame to lose these and thus the loss of quality. I'm thankful that most all of the shows I was a part of were preserved on VHS, as grainy as that may be. At least I always tried to keep the best quality copies I could.Recently I found this copy which seems to be a little better quality than the one I had posted here years ago. Thanks Bill and thanks Mike for hiring a kid my age back then and giving me a career I could've never dreamed of!
I've always love your playing on the piano. I first noticed you when you played with the Original Hinsons way back in the early 1980s. I am a huge fan of the Hinsons, even to the younger generation of the Hinsons. God bless you Dirk, God gave you the talent for playing the way you do.
Thanks for the super post, Dirk. I love to watch the CFR videos with you playing the piano! God Bless.
