GO BOY’S "DOBBIN” vs. A ONE-HORSE SLEIGH
TELL THE TRUTH, JUDGE” Hits the Top Ten
with Walking Horse Enthusiasts
We doubt if the new record released by JIMMY
RICHARDSON of Shelbyville, Tennessee, will ever
really hit the "Top Ten” in the nation, but you can
be sure it is a real "smash” with Tennessee Walking
Horse fans everywhere. Jimmy wrote both lyrics and
music for this song and titled it "Tell the Truth,
Judge.” It is a catchy tune and his words indicate
that this song writer really knows the horse business.
He should! He has spent about as much time in the
center of the ring as anyone in the country. His spec­
ialty, of course, is the famous Jimmy Richardson
Organ Accompaniment to some of the major horse
shows in the nation.
Jimmy has been playing the organ for horse shows
for over 10 years and is considered a major attract­
ion as such. He has a series of long-playing albums
which he has recorded on the Marcel label. Some
are strictly "Horse Show Music,” while others are
for general listening pleasure. If your local record
shop does not carry Jimmy’s records you may pur­
chase them by writing to the Marcel Organ Records,
Shelbyville, Tennessee. You should all have a copy
of "Tell the Truth, Judge,” as it will probably be a
great consolation to you when your favorite horse
ties second in the show ring.
Captain ROBERT H. WOOD, Commanding Officer
at the Naval Air Technical Training Center in Mem­
phis, Tennessee, and a well-known Tennessee Walk­
ing Horse fancier, takes advantage of a rare Memphis
snowfall and guides this old-fashioned sleigh over the
fairways of the Naval Air Station Golf Course. Mrs.
Wood joins the fun and rides co-pilot for the enjoy­
able event The sleigh, an 1880 model, was purchased
in Upper New York state and restored to an almost-
new condition by Captain Wood. He has been waiting
all winter for the snow in which to test the results of
the overhaul. While having some difficulty keeping
her stride because of snow balling up on her feet,
the champion Tennessee Walker demonstrated her
versatility by switching from saddle to harness.
