Festival Memories

The Peace Offering

My Mom was doing some summer mailing for Bill. She told me a story about Mr. Bill. Anyone that knew Mr. Bill knew he had a way of doing things that we will say was a little different. Mom said Mr. Bill asked his booker Chuck Campbell to go get a pair of white shoes with tan soles that he had seen earlier that day. Upon returning Mr. Bill took the shoes into Mr. Flatts dressing room and gave them to him. That's the day they made up and Lester agreed to come to Bean Blossom. I thought you might enjoy this. Mom said she had never seen a pair of shoes used as a peace offering before. I thought this really needed to be shared. Mom also said Mr.Bell, the man in charge of the "Members" stage door at the Grand Ole Opry, was laughing and shaking his head saying, "Only those two, only those two".
