Fun fact: she was a HS classmate of Jimmy Johnson. His jock crew found her offbeat style annoying, and their nickname for her was “Beat Weeds” (that’s small town Texas for Worn Out Clothes, apparently).

What a voice and presence on stage. You could stay on that show for an awhile with your MPC’s. Lots of coming out parties.
Loved the guy hired to close the show as the walk out act Otis Redding.
