good in those days.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And they put me in and let him out.

Speaker 10 (05:11):
And Bill Morgan called Governor Clements uh four hours later

breathalyzer tests in those days.
Speaker 10 (05:20):

with some hardened criminals.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I was scared to death about.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You've alluded a number of times to the fact that
you have tasted, as text here used to say, tasted
the grape. You've been doing a little drinking from time
to time. Uh do you drink much?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
No, I'm not that much of a drinker.
Speaker 10 (05:45):
I used to you know, Uh, when I first came
to Nashville. Everybody wanted to be like Hank Williams. I
mean that uh uh in our world at that time,
we didn't work at the big places.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We worked the honky tonks, you know, uh, the dance
halls and uh.
Speaker 10 (06:02):
We didn't work in Vegas or in those kind of
places like that. And maybe, uh, maybe Eddie Arnold did,
but that was about all.
Speaker 11 (06:10):
Uh uh.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So we thought that was it.
Speaker 10 (06:13):
I mean, just go out there with them, uh, with
the neighbors, uh and drank beer with them. Uh, you know,
and that was about the extent of it. But I
found out that wasn't uh where it's at. And I
quit the booze, I quit the hard liquor. Uh what
sixteen years ago?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Now, when when was the first time you went into
Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I went in there, I believe around seventy two.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Was that a big step for you?
Speaker 10 (06:48):
Well, at the beginning, I went to the Nugget in
downtown and I had to work. I had to do
six shows a night. I thought it was a big step,
uh and and I walked off the stage. I said,
I'm not gonna work like this. They dropped the curtain
on my head one time. It's an automatic curtain and
you have to be off. Well, I got the stuttering,
and then down come the curtain and it hit.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Me right in the right in the top of the head.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You mean your show, your shows are time and you
have to be off.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And I said time and you had to be off.
Well I didn't know that.
Speaker 10 (07:16):
And it hit me about my third ship, uh, my
third day out there.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Uh no, I had three more days to go.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And I told the old boy, Green was his name,
I told him, I said, I said.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'm not going on, uh.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
Stand out here and kill myself like that, I said
I And it was just too hard man.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Forty six forty five minute shows a night.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
That is hard work.
Speaker 10 (07:46):
And then they'd change over and make you uh uh
sing all day long. You know, you come in the morning,
you just thing cause they're open twenty four hours. So
I walked off the stage. He said you better not.
He said, you can't walk off this page. I said, well,
watch me, I'm going to Nashville. And he said, you'll
never play Vegas again. I said, if I do, it
won't be in this quarter joint. And it just worked
(08:10):
out that uh uh uh. The next time I played
it uh Vegas was a uh buddy. Lee had made
a deal with the uh Landmark and I worked out
there for a week and then about oh when I
went with the Halsey Agency, I started uh uh work
in the front tier.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
One year out there, I worked uh nineteen weeks.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
When did you first go into the big rooms as
they call them, the separate.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
Class uh with Halsey Halsey Uh he put me in
all the big rooms. I'd done so much uh uh
television I became a what do they call a TV
uh person?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Now, Okay, it seems like it puts a lot of
pressure on entertainers that I have known who go into
big rooms for the first time, They really would work
hard to make an impression. Is that how you felt
about it.
Speaker 10 (09:00):
I didn't do no changing. I just went in with
my band and we did our uh shows. Sometimes I
would use uh uh uh their strings uh and the
band I would use eleven strings, which you know sounded
good with our band. I had to get arrangements, all mate,
I didn't have any of those. I dressed my boys
in western tucks uh uh. But as far as the
(09:24):
music is concerned, we didn't do any anything different.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
What do I got piece of uh.
Speaker 10 (09:31):
People who come to Vegas and and to uh Atlantic
City uh and Reno are from all over uh uh
and they sure don't change when they get there, you know,
so I don't I don't think you need to do that.
You know, I think you should pick yourself up. You
should recognize uh for dinner shows. You should have on

No, they put me in the end, in with those, uh,
with some hardened criminals.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I was scared to death about.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You've alluded a number of times to the fact that
you have tasted, as text here used to say, tasted
the grape. You've been doing a little drinking from time
to time. Uh do you drink much?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
No, I'm not that much of a drinker.
Speaker 10 (05:45):
I used to you know, Uh, when I first came
to Nashville. Everybody wanted to be like Hank Williams. I
mean that uh uh in our world at that time,
we didn't work at the big places.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We worked the honky tonks, you know, uh, the dance
halls and uh.
Speaker 10 (06:02):
We didn't work in Vegas or in those kind of
places like that. And maybe, uh, maybe Eddie Arnold did,
but that was about all.
Speaker 11 (06:10):
Uh uh.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So we thought that was it.
Speaker 10 (06:13):
I mean, just go out there with them, uh, with
the neighbors, uh and drank beer with them. Uh, you know,
and that was about the extent of it. But I
found out that wasn't uh where it's at. And I
quit the booze, I quit the hard liquor. Uh what
sixteen years ago?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Now, when when was the first time you went into
Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I went in there, I believe around seventy two.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Was that a big step for you?
Speaker 10 (06:48):
Well, at the beginning, I went to the Nugget in
downtown and I had to work. I had to do
six shows a night. I thought it was a big step,
uh and and I walked off the stage. I said,
I'm not gonna work like this. They dropped the curtain
on my head one time. It's an automatic curtain and
you have to be off. Well, I got the stuttering,
and then down come the curtain and it hit.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Me right in the right in the top of the head.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You mean your show, your shows are time and you
have to be off.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And I said time and you had to be off.
Well I didn't know that.
Speaker 10 (07:16):
And it hit me about my third ship, uh, my
third day out there.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Uh no, I had three more days to go.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And I told the old boy, Green was his name,
I told him, I said, I said.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'm not going on, uh.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
Stand out here and kill myself like that, I said
I And it was just too hard man.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Forty six forty five minute shows a night.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
That is hard work.
Speaker 10 (07:46):
And then they'd change over and make you uh uh
sing all day long. You know, you come in the morning,
you just thing cause they're open twenty four hours. So
I walked off the stage. He said you better not.
He said, you can't walk off this page. I said, well,
watch me, I'm going to Nashville. And he said, you'll
never play Vegas again. I said, if I do, it
won't be in this quarter joint. And it just worked
(08:10):
out that uh uh uh. The next time I played
it uh Vegas was a uh buddy. Lee had made
a deal with the uh Landmark and I worked out
there for a week and then about oh when I
went with the Halsey Agency, I started uh uh work
in the front tier.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
One year out there, I worked uh nineteen weeks.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
When did you first go into the big rooms as
they call them, the separate.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
Class uh with Halsey Halsey Uh he put me in
all the big rooms. I'd done so much uh uh
television I became a what do they call a TV
uh person?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Now, Okay, it seems like it puts a lot of
pressure on entertainers that I have known who go into
big rooms for the first time, They really would work
hard to make an impression. Is that how you felt
about it.
Speaker 10 (09:00):
I didn't do no changing. I just went in with
my band and we did our uh shows. Sometimes I
would use uh uh uh their strings uh and the
band I would use eleven strings, which you know sounded
good with our band. I had to get arrangements, all mate,
I didn't have any of those. I dressed my boys
in western tucks uh uh. But as far as the
(09:24):
music is concerned, we didn't do any anything different.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
What do I got piece of uh.
Speaker 10 (09:31):
People who come to Vegas and and to uh Atlantic
City uh and Reno are from all over uh uh
and they sure don't change when they get there, you know,
so I don't I don't think you need to do that.
You know, I think you should pick yourself up. You
should recognize uh for dinner shows. You should have on
(09:52):
your uh tucks. Your last shows are late shows. We
go in uh Ambrosia in cog anything we.
