The whole family was a bunch of Nutts. I knew his dad and mom well, but only met the Rev when I was very young. We gave his family a dog named Lady. His parents often mentioned that dog---and how much Grady and his brother enjoyed it. His parents owned Grady's Hat Shop in Jacksonville for many years. They were super folks and always enjoyed a good laugh.

I too have been so blessed, and made to laugh by this special man of God. I had the opportunity to attend Jacksonville Baptist College with Grady and sing in the college choir with him. He was not only a man who could make people laugh, he also was very talented musically. I never had the opportunity to hear him preach, but I'm sure the Holy Spirit used him tremendously. I agree that his stories and I think his songs need to live on. I do have a cassett tape of some of his Hee Haw stories.

I also met Grady. I have several of his albums. The album that he did with the Kingsmen I had the privilege of being in the audiennce when it was recorded. I wanted to know how many albums he recorded. Someone let me know.

I can still remember having one of his recordings. I really wish I had it now. He was absolutely hysterical. I loved the story of him and his friends driving across Texas.

I've got several of Grady Nutt's records and a 45. Moving them to digital or mp3 has proven to be very difficult. I don't have a preamp so I can run the record player directly into my computer. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

As a kid we had a cassette tape of Grady's "All Day Singin' and Dinner on the Ground". It was a family favorite and was worn to a frazzle by constant playing.

My family still quotes lines from that album some 25+ years later.

I would love to get my hands on any of his recordings!

I have all four of Grady's books. I first heard him as a teenager at the Baptist conference center at Glorieta, NM in the early 70s. He spoke in chapel at Wayland Baptist College (now University) my freshman year. That night he was at the student union and in a very informal setting, told stories for hours. We were all in stitches the entire time. He was an incredibly gifted person!

I came across the book "Agaperos" by Grady Nutt today. I purchased the book and a tape during a youth conference in Charlotte, NC probably about a year or so before he died. I realized while reading the book that I didn't really "get" it when reading the book as a young person and a young Christian, but reading it today has made me crave more of his work. I did however get his humor and am now going to tear up my house looking for the tape. I know I still have it because I never throw away anything. I would really like to see his work on CD and DVD. I will add this site to my favorites and check it on a regular basis for more recent sightings of Grady. Thanks to all of you who have posted. Reading your thoughts and memories of Grady has brought back to my mind a part of my life I needed to remember. Blessings to the family.

I myself had some tapes growing up in Altus, Ok. We have listened til you can't any more. I would love to see or better yet hear his words stories again. My favorite was "When the Roll is called up yander." I love the way he would laugh at his own stories. My Uncle was a Methodist Minister in Kentucky. He would tell some great stories. I can see them two in Heaven having the best time swapping stories :)

I might be able to host a site where we could share mp3's of Grady Nutt. Ben, I noticed you said you have them - send me an email if you're still interested to provided this service (and if we're sure we're not violating the wishes of the family or the publishers ;)

Thanks,

Grady Nutt really brings back memories. I lived in Jacksonville Texas for a while, and I knew his brother--who was even funnier than Grady! I got to hear all the stories Grady wouldn't tell about things they used to do as kids (talk about shhhhh!).

Grady made regular appearances back in his hometown, and a local radio station used to carry them live. I wish like the dickens that I'd recorded some of them, because they were hilarious, especially when he talked about the teachers he had in the late 40s/early 50s--who were (or soon would be) MY teachers 30 years later.

It's possible that some of those broadcasts may be archived somewhere in Jacksonville. The company that owned the station was Waller Broadcasting. No guarantees on finding anything, but worth looking into for anyone trying to track down some unique recordings.

Amen! We need the joy in Christ that Grady Nutt embodied. We learn best what we see in others and that which has an emotional element. With Grady the laughter was heartfelt and never mean. What lessons he taught and lived!
I am another one who would love to be able to hear all those great stories again. My "copy of a copy" cassette is incomplete and almost worn out. I'll be in line for the whole shebang if it is produced.

My favorite album of his was "Grady Nutt: Humorist." He played his famous "tipple" (sp?) and told a humorous, but powerful, story of Jesus and the Woman at the Well.
I will never forget his line about our misconceptions of Jesus.
"Most people think Jesus walked around in a brown corderoy robe he got on sale at Sears talking old english: 'Good morning unto thee, how art thou!' "

Leigh Green — Sat, 05 May 2007 01:52:15 -0000

Please restore Grady Nutt's recordings to CD's or better yet, to DVD's. The world who is not familiar with this minister/humorist, doesn't know what they are missing.

We need more humor in this world. Especially, Clean, Christian humor!

Please. Thank you.

Sincerely, Leigh Green

My grandfather, and Grady's father were brothers, so needless to say, I have plenty of memories of growing up with family re-unions featuring the whole Nutt clan. The stories they entertained with were side-splitting funny. The stories Grady used in his sermons are mostly true I remember a couple events happening in real life (shhhh)
The whole family was blessed with the gift of laughter and I hope that special blessing has been passed down to my children and grandchildren. Someday I would love to write a book about those stories shared around the huge dinning table with everyone trying to get a word in edgewise.

I was also a friend of Grady's. My family and I got to know him and his family through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. We loved them all. I would so love to have news of Eleanor and the boys. I also want to have all of Grady's material that has been recored. I had one album but loaned it to a fried many years ago and have not seen it since. I have his books and using part of The Gospel According To Norton in my Sunday School lesson yesterday made me remember to "Google" Grady again and see what I could find. This site didn't come up last time I "Googled" him but sure glad it did this time. Thinking of Grady gives me that "warm spot" he so often talked about. I think I would give just about anything to get a collection of Grady's work on album and tv. I mostly want to share him with others. I am a high school teacher and I think my students today would love him as much as I did as a teenager and young adult! SOMEONE, please get his material out there for today's young people!!!!!!!! Thanks for the info!!!!!! Princie King Evans

I was born in 81, and am one of the few people my age who knows who Grady Nutt is. I have family in Waco, and have grown up around Amarillo. A few years back my father copied on of his LPs to cd, and as soon as I got an ipod, I put it on there. I keep looking online hoping that if they haven't come out w/ cds to buy, then maybe someone would make a site where you can download the albums to listen to. I'd really appreciate this.
