KITTY WELLS

I spent a couple of afternoons chatting with Kitty Wells. This was in the country heyday of the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto. She would have been in her fifties then. Her touring band was run like a tight ship. Everybody in the band or on the bus had like 3 jobs. It was eye-opening to watch an old pro in action. She had every money-making gimmick in the bag. The act was slick and tight, She had a thin voice and a bit off-key but she knew how to use it and people loved it.
