Here Are Fun Facts From
The Life Of A Southern Girl
Who Grew Up In The South
& Lived In The South West:
July 1974 ---
The Frankie Avalon Show!
Westin Peachtree Hotel Atl.
What a thrill As I sang
Harmony w/ Frankie
Avalon! He Invited Me!
Wow! I felt like a star as
people reached out to shake
my hand & invite me back!
He & I sang:
"You're Just Too Good To
Be True!" Ended w/a kiss!
December 1981 ---
Singing w/ Stars At Home?
The Star of Pittsburg Pirates
was known as "The Cobra"
He was In "The Lumber
Company" & Came Over
w/His date for dinner at
our rented farm house.
Relaxing From The Crowd.
My husband was Grilling
BBQ Country Ribs for dinner
As I Came Home From Work.
Here's To 1978's Most
Valuable Player. He &
My husband Were
Business Friends.
I came Inside & They Were
Chatting In The Living Rm!
Beautiful Lady he was
dating was a singer w/
The 5th Dimension!
We all sang as I played
piano & she and I sat on
the piano bench together.
The 5th Dimension Is in
The Grammy Hall Of
Fame & they were at the
Top of the Charts.
It's Amazing to have that
experience! It's a lovely
memory & I'm Blessed!
Withholding names here
because of privacy but
my songbook still has a
sweet note she wrote to
me preserved inside!
She gave me an auto-
graphed picture but it's
been lost thru moves
over the years.
