Julliard?

I saw him at Eskimo Joe’s, in Stillwater, OK and people were throwing quarters in his tip jar. This was one year before he exploded onto the scene in country music.

IIRC - and I'm pretty sure I do - He studied music at Julliard. His career was all markteting. Sizzle and no country steak. His stage show - the one Mrs p6 dragged me to here - was like a circus act. they never stood still...ran all over the stage.

He wrapped up with a solo of Starry, Starry Night.

Decent musician but NOT country. No Way! The opening act was much better. Traditional "cowboy" band standing around a fake campfire but at least playing passable country. Sons o the Pioneers stuff mixed with, oh, '40s -60's C/W.
