I always enjoyed playing his comedy records on the air in Chicago and Orlando. He was funny! Bob Cahill - Woodinville, WA 04/05/2013

My father is a minister. I have fond memories of listening to Grady Nutt tapes in the car with my family on our yearly "vacations" to the Southern Baptist Convention. It's great to have a place to revisit them! Doug Taylor 12/03/2011
Hi Chris! I love Grady Nutt! I have an old cassette tape that someone gave my father way back when, of a cassette they made when Grady Nutt was speaking at Duke University. I personally think it is the funniest thing ever recorded by Grady...after decades of listening to it, I can never really get enough of it. I have no idea of the year this was recorded, neither does my 80 year old father. I would love to share it...but it is not in the greatest quality condition (again, from decades of non-stop listening to it), but it's definitely good enough to listen to still...I recorded it from my cassette player onto my computer to have it permanently before the cassette completely wears out...the best I can tell, it was just a cassette that they made while he was speaking at Duke...thanks!

What a thrill to find this site! Thanks so much for creating it. This man deserves to be remembered. I will check your archives against my own to see of I have anything you need (or vice versa!) God bless! My late Grandmother introduced me to this man when I was a little girl (not in person) and he really lived up to his name. I think if he had lived long enough, him and Mark Lowry would have made a heck of comedy pair. :) Thanks for creating this site. I've listened to some of your audios that I have never heard before and they're great. :) Joel Dodson 01/27/12
Your website is such a wonderful presentation that tributes the legacy of Grady Nutt. I was a young teenager in 1981 when I had the fortunate opportunity to see Grady perform at the Hee Haw Theater in Branson, Mo. Following the show, Grady would visit with fans. It wasn't until later that I would understand how grateful I would be that my parents insisted we wait our turn. I became hooked as a fan and then was devastated by his tragic death in 1982. Years after the family developed a great friendship with Mike McKinney, who was Grady's rep. What an unforgettable vacation the year we drove to Louisville for a visit. We were treated to the Grady tour around town & Mike made sure to stock up our collection of Grady stuff. It was Grady's character & personality that continues to influence my life. Thanks for your website. It has so much & has inspired me to dig through my collection. Perhaps I can find something special to send you. Chuck Phillips 02/11/12

I remember Grady Nutt coming to Stetson University when I was a boy. My parents became friends with Grady while at seminary in the mid-60s. On long car trips we regularly listened to his tapes and I was hooked on his humor. I remember hearing about his death. Its like a snapshot in my mind. We were on the long dirt road on our way to my Granny's house in Pinetta, FL, for Thanksgiving a day or two after he passed away. I remember thinking "God must have needed him more than we did." - Chris Williams, Valdosta, GA |

Howdy everyone! My name is in fact Grady Lee Nutt II. The folks of this website have no idea how amazing it is to get to see my grandfather on film. I never imagined I would have the chance to see anything of him in video media. Thank you thank you thank you to the folks who made this site possible. Such a gift to see him on video and listen to his message. God bless, may his message always circulate. Dave Roberts 01/06/2012 7:55pm
I was in the ninth or tenth grade when Grady came to my home church to hold a youth revival (First Baptist of Galax, VA). I remember him going with a group of us teens to a spot on the Blue Ridge Parkway, entertaining us for a while, then sharing some of his personal experience with Christ and asking several of us to share ours with him. It was great to see him that close and personal. He also came for 2 chapels while I was a student at Carson-Newman College, offered his humor and message, and then spoke directly with those of us who might have an interest in seminary. He was at Southern Seminary during my student days and entertained the whole student body when we chartered the Belle of Louisville for a cruise on the Ohio River. Those are great memories of a wonderful man. Lee Morris 01/25/12
Was in seminary with Grady and followed his career in comedy with delight. What a blessing of the best of Christian humor he was to countless people. I always include a tape of some of his humor in a presentation on religious humor. May his legacy never die. Deana Blackburn 01/28/12
Grady had a profound influence on my life, as did Eleanor. I first knew him when I was in high school; he was a friend of our youth minister at FBC, Wichita Falls. Then during Baylor years. And most of all during our years at Southern Seminary. He was a dear man, the same genuine friend in person as on stage or TV. I have often wondered how the world (particularly some religious circles) would be different had he lived 20-30 years longer. I needed him many times; we need him today to help us laugh. We will have a wonderful reunion in Heaven. Love that Gradileee. Dimple Varney 02/01/12
Life has not been the same for thirty Years without Grady's entertainment. I met Grady in 1963 when I moved to Frankfort KY. He was Pastor of Graefenburg Baptist Church where special friends invited me to attend. His sermons were truly a blessing from God. He sure was gifted with a kind heart and love for people.

Grady Nutt was our pastor First Music Workshop at Ridgecrest N.C. Baptist Camp. This was in the 1960's. My best memories are Grady telling us to go out and sing like an egg yoke in a blue bowl and like sunshine shinning through a fresh jar of apple jelly. Our group did Mary E Cardwell music “There is a Season”. To him (Grady) the best in life were the simple things. |
