Quinten Lotus Dickey (1911-1989) was a folk singer from rural Orange County, Indiana. A blue collar father of eight, Lotus wrote hundreds of original songs, but it wasn't until the late 70's after retirement that he was able to concentrate on his music. He spent the last years of his life playing regional festivals and recording as many of his songs as possible.
