When we had just turned 11 years old. The school
was having a talent competition and we were one of the 10 finalists to get
to come up on stage and entertain. Someone had bought us a new pair of pants,
shirts and shoes. We were standing behind the curtain waiting to be introduced
and I was looking down at my new shiny black shoes. This was the second
pair of new shoes I could ever remember having. The announcer introduced
us "From the Grand Old Opry, Welcome Donald and Ronald Cochran".

|
 |
| "Sowing On The Mountain, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| "The Old Rugged Cross". |

The curtain opened and Ronald stepped forward.
I looked up and saw all those people looking at me looking at my shoes.
And I rushed forward to catchup with Ronald. We did just fine. We sung "Sowing
On The Mountain, Reaping In The Valley" and "The Old Rugged Cross".
I don't know why the announcer said we were from the Grand Old Opry. I didn't
tell them that and I don't believe Ronald did. |

Although I had been guilty of telling some big
ones before. One was when I was in the first grade and I went to school
hungry. The smell of cooking in the cafeteria coming down the hall and into
my room was too big of a temptation to bear. I didn't know where daddy was,
but I told the teacher that he had been in an automobile wreck and got his
leg's cut off and we didn't have any food to eat. Back in those days they
didn't have free lunches and if you didn't have a quarter or bring your
lunch, you didn't eat. It worked! They fed me and my brothers .I might have
gotten away with it if they hadn't wanted to know where to send flowers. |
