We got married in a fever....hotter than a pepper sprout...

[Botafogo]

I will never forget seeing The Man in Black, The Tennesee Three and June and her family at the Minnesota State Fair in the early sixties. The opening act was Conway Twitty and the Twitty Birds who had obviously had a few snorts before getting on stage and Conway introduced the first song like this:

"Oh, weeeeeeeewieeeeeee, this one is for all of you corn fed virgins out there. It's called 'It only hurts a little while'!"

The powers that be hooked him off stage before he could get to the first chorus and Carl Perkins and the T3 started up with the intro to "Ring of Fire", June walked on stage and ad libbed about how Conway was going to have to learn a special dance to avoid the ring of fire he was headed for....
