Removed the statement It was a step up from his original career as a one-finger pianist as it looked like a joke —Jabamula 08:50, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But he did start out as a one-finger pianist. I guess I'll have to find my source for it, but it wasn't put in as a joke, it was put in because it was a phase in his career. Ortolan88 17:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just added one-finger back, with comment <!--"one-finger piano" statement from liner notes to ''Outskirts of Town'' by the Prestige Blues-Swingers (Prestige 7145) --> Ortolan88 17:35, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tiny Grimes discography

[edit]

Support split - Discography section takes up more than one third of the page, and should be split to a new article entitled Tiny Grimes discography. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:23, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of nickname

[edit]

The only online source I can find is this SPS blog which says: "In 1938 he gigged with a group called 'The Four Dots', and began going by 'Tiny', a nickname he acquired as a child growing up in Newport News." But this doesn't look like a reliable source, claiming as it does that "Tiny Grimes is the inventor of Rock and Roll". Are there any better sources?
