Little Jimmy Dickens, who stood 4-feet-11-inches tall, performed on the Opry almost continuously since 1948. His last performance was Dec. 20 as part of his birthday celebration. He sang "Out Behind the Barn" and delivered his trademark comedy. He had turned 94 a day earlier. Mr. Dickens, who died on Jan. 2, was a diminutive singer-songwriter known for his sense of humor.
