I remember as a child my Father worked with a man from West Memphis AR at Chip Balwick Chevrolt on Union. Our family’s would meet at the Linden Circle Theater in the early to mid 60’s on Friday nights and go to the Mid South Jamboree to see and listen to the preformers. There would be Dolly Pardon, Portor Wanger, String Bean, Grand Pa Jones, and many more. One in particulat also was Eddie Bond who was from Memphis and did radio commericals for a funiture store in Bayhaila MS (Bill Bailey’s). I worked here in Memphis at a local bank and had a friend in a different area that I would visit from time to time and some how got on the subject about The Midsouth Jamboree and talked to her about Eddie Bond. My co-worker told that his daughter worked with her in her department. I got to meet her and talk about Eddie and told her the memories of the past.
