I don't know when these photographs were taken, but in 1955, CC, GM, and June Carter appeared together in several shows. I found these photographs near Bristol, TN, not too far from the Carter Fold.

Wow, what a find JJ! Do you search thrift and consignment shops for these? I actually lived in Winchester, VA for a couple of years, not far from where Patsy Cline's home, not far from a Patsy-themed MacDonalds, not far from the original and first Harley Davidson shop.
ReplyDeleteWe hunt around whenever we can, always fun. A Patsy-themed mcD? wowsa . . . Did you ever meet Joe Bageant? I can imagine he might have had a quarter pounder or two in his day. I'm a big fan of his work, Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America's Class War . . . great book . . .
