James H. "Jimmy" Martin (August 10, 1927 – May 14, 2005) was an American bluegrass musician, known as the "King of Bluegrass".
Early years
Martin was born in Sneedville, Tennessee, Jimmy Martin was raised in the hard farming life of rural East Tennessee. He grew up near Sneedville, singing in church and with friends from surrounding farms. His mother and stepfather who used to sing gospel were his first influences. When he was in his teens he bought a guitar. Martin told The Big Book of Bluegrass: "I learned the basic chords from an old hillbilly named Reuben Gibson, who lived in the hills around Sneedville, and I taught myself how to play. I heard Lester Flatt and Charlie Monroe both play runs, but I didn't try to top them. I mostly just developed them how I felt, when it came natural for a song."
In his teens, he played guitar in a local string band and later appeared on radio with Tex Climer and the Blue Band Coffee Boys.
Music career
In the winter of 1949, Mac Wiseman had just left Bill Monroe's "Bluegrass Boys". Martin, who wanted to apply for the vacant post as guitarist, rode the bus into Nashville. He sneaked in backstage at the Grand Ole Opry. While picking his guitar, he was overheard by "Bluegrass Boys" banjo player Rudy Lyle who brought him forward and presented him to Monroe. Martin sang two songs with Monroe and was hired instantly.
James M. Martin (born December 14, 1938) is an American politician. He is a member of the Alabama House of Representatives from the 42nd District, serving since 2014. He is a member of the Republican party. He previously served as a Democrat from 1998 to 2010.
Martin was born in Wicklow. His father, Jimmy, was the assistant professional at Greystones Golf Club. He was selected to represent Ireland at five World Cups between 1962 and 1970, and also to represent Great Britain in the Ryder Cup at Royal Birkdale in 1965, where he would play in - and lose - one foursomes match, in partnership with Jimmy Hitchcock, to Julius Boros and Tony Lema.
"They're pretty bad memories. Watching the quarterback getting sacked time and time again."
"They just don't know in a way,"
"It hurts you as an offensive lineman. You look back and see your quarterback with grass and dirt in his face. That probably was the most frustrating game of my career here."
"Will can not only play two positions, he can play them both extremely well. I'd say he's our best lineman."
"The night before we'll go over the plays with Duane. We'll talk to him and get him right. And he is right. He's ready."
"That field goal … it wasn't his fault. The game wasn't his fault."
"I think we're ready. We're ready to get after them. It was never that we all just got overpowered. It was just one guy missing an assignment or two guys missing assignments. We were just never in sync last year."
"I just want to be healthy. I don't want to go in there and be selfish just to keep my streak alive if I'm not able to play to my potential."
"The big question is going to be [today] when they see how my range of motion is. It feels better than [Friday]. We'll see."
"Of course, I want to play because it's my last college game. But if I'm out there, I want to be healthy and effective. I don't want to be selfish just to keep a streak alive if I'm not able to play to my potential."

Honey you don't know my mind I'm lonesome all the time Born to lose a drifter that's me You can travel for so long then a rambler's heart goes wrong Baby you don't know my mind today Heard the music of a rail slept in every old dirty jail And life's too short for you to worry me When I find I can't win I'll be checking out again Baby you don't know my mind today I've been a hobo and a tramp my soul has done been stamped Lord things I know I learned the hard hard way I ain't here to judge or plea but to give my poor heart ease Baby you don't know my mind today Honey you don't know my mind I'm lonesome all the time Born to lose a drifter that's me You say I'm sweet and kind I can love you a thousand times
