Just finished viewing a B movie "College Confidential" College life:

Steve Allen as Steve McInter
Jayne Meadows as Betty Ducayne
Mamie Van Doren as Sally Blake
Rocky Marciano as Deputy Sheriff
Mickey Shaughnessy as Sam Grover
Cathy Crosby as Fay Grover
Herbert Marshall as Professor Henry Addison
Conway Twitty as Marvin
Randy Sparks as Phil
Pamela Mason as Edna Blake
Elisha Cook, Jr. as Ted Blake
Theona Bryant as Lois Addison Walter Winchell

Needless to say, b movie "College Confidential" not very entertaining except for known entertainers.

He told me one day that that movie was his "Most embarassing moment". However, he got to meet Mamie Van Doren...

It's a good movie that shows how things can really get screwed up when only segments and rumors are become known.

When I got married back in 1969, we lived next door to his drummer, Tommy "Porkchop" Markham, in some apartments off of SW 59th & Walker. He was a really nice guy. We got to be good friends with him after the 1970 Memorial Day flood from Lightning Creek. Both of our apartments flooded and we sat out on our cars in the parking lot while he played his guitar and sang. We used to go with him to pick Conway up at the airport. I even cleaned his apartment for him and he came and ate with us when he was home. In return, he took us backstage at a Conway, Loretta Lynn and Ernest Tubb concert. This was soooo exciting for a 19-year old girl.... but at the time I actually hated country music..... LOL!!!!!

I sold (when with TG&Y) a .45 automatic pistol. The "dummy" would carry it everywhere as he thought since this was "Oklahomy" that every one carried one.
