I have a friend who always has a good story to tell about the things that went on in his life when he was younger. The following is one of his stories:
“When I was a young adult, it was difficult to get my folks to go to an establishment where they served alcohol, even if it was to see an entertainer.
A friend of the family opened a bar in our hometown where the Farm and Home store used to be located. He remodeled it, it was very nice, and very large inside. He would have different entertainers there, and it had a large dance floor. One night, Marvin Rainwater (an entertainer from Nashville) was playing at the bar. This place was very nice, there had never been a fight there. I finally talked my folks into going.
Well, on that particular night, there were two women, one on each side of the room who, for whatever reason, disagreed about something. So, before the show even began, these two females met in the middle of the dance floor and began to fight. The owner tried to get in the middle to break it up, but without success. He had a habit of carrying a large wad of money in his shirt pocket. There was blonde hair and money all over the place.
Go figure, the one night I talk my parents into going to a bar, after building it up and telling what a nice place it was, there was a fight on that night.”
