Friends like Rex Wiseman, who plays steel, guitar, and fiddle with the Oak Ridge Boys, and a lifelong family friend, William Pullin, helped her as she learned to play different instruments. The more engaged she became with music, the more she became interested in other instruments, learning to play mandolin, bass guitar, and piano. With her father encouraging her to play and sing with him in front of others, however, she found that people enjoyed her music, and that playing with others was much more fun than playing alone. Shy at first, she spent most of the time with the guitar her cousin Mike Harbor had loaned her, alone in her room away from any kind of audience. “Dad told me if I was going to play, the first thing I had to learn was how to tune the instrument and change the strings.” “It was so big that I had to slide it down on my lap to be able to reach the neck and strum,” she recalled. Grimes’ father played a large Gibson hollow body electric guitar that he unplugged from the amplifier to let her play. Her dad and his brother were part of the Kentucky Rangers who later were members of the first house band at the Lincoln Jamboree. I was around 10 years old when I picked up dad’s guitar and he showed me a few chords.” “Anytime we got together, music was a big part of the day-after a big meal, of course. “Most Sundays after church, the family would visit at one or the other’s house,” Grimes recalled. She grew up listening to music played by her dad and her uncle, Joseph and Ellsworth Harbin, a family friend, William Pullin, and others. If I can sing something that will help someone reflect on their lives and relationship with the Lord and others, I have accomplished my goal.” “I love sharing music with others and hope my music will help others in times of need and in times of happiness.
