(3) THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS IN MURPHY NORTH CAROLINA and LASH LARUE

As a kid in Murphy, my older brother Junior and I ran around town playing Cowboys and Indians with two navy brats who lived in Murphy only a short while. We had shoot outs behind the Henn theatre! They were to become the folk singer comedians, The Smothers Brothers - Tommy and Dickie!

Tommy liked to dress all in black like his favorite cowboy, the same cowboy Elvis and I also idolized - LASH LARUE! All the kids in Murphy went around with brooms under them and ropes for whips!
