[AGL] Re: The Threadgill,s gatherings/Eddie Wilson

[Frances Morey]

Connie,
  As I understood it there were several occasions on which Janis and Kenneth Threadgill appeared at the same time on the same venue, even sang together. The most publicized was when it was Janis' birthday not too long before she died. EW might have been  a witness on that occasion rather than earlier at the service station before Janis made it big, and when Mr. Threadgill still owned it. I remember that one. I missed her much touted birthday appearance. Eddie Wilson as an Austin boy surely could have been part of the crowd at either one.

  I remember that you were often at Threadgill's for the Wednesday night jams, even with your violin sometimes, right?
   
  Question has been put as to whether anyone remembers Eddie Wilson there.  I saw him on a biographical tv show about Janis, and he spoke of her as if a witness to her singing with KT.  
   
  Do you remember seeing him at KTs?  I never knew him so I guess I wouldn't have noticed anyway.

  Ahem. I was there a number of times in '62, '63 at the age of 15 & 16, still
at Austin High. Including the night that I tried peyote for the first time
with my older college boy date (you know who you are). Janis told us we had
to settle down, or leave.
