The Million Dollar Quartet
I never listened to MDQ -- I'll give it a go.
Did you see Elvis (the movie or in person)? MS and I really enjoyed the movie.
Just four guys noodling around a piano in an impromptu jam session...

The "might have been" even inspired a musical...

Then after Elvis died, they subbed for him in little tribute number...

The only known picture of "Larry."
It’s a good pic. I do believe this is Larry, based on a memory of a black & white pic him standing. He & I corresponded way back. He either sent me that B&W pic or it was posted in early TNCR. He appeared tall. I’ve a good memory. That little girl could well be the mom of Spider, Wednesday & Dagger (their real names btw). I wonder if the boy is Larry’s son. The one he spoke of here.

Anybody else find it suspicious that the FBI waited for a week after Larry passed, then raided Mar-A-Lago? Coincidence? Really?

Gasp! You mean Larry snitched on Mar-A-Lago and his “death” is just a cover story for him going into WITSEC!?

@LuFins-Dad Perhaps they got delayed draining a swamp somewhere filled with water moccasins?
One of the most colourful stories Larry told was of a houseboat on a lake at night with water moccasins. I forget all his details. I just cringed at that because I full well remember living in AL, being at a lake once, then later learning of water moccasins and all the other slithering snakes down South.

You just kick 'em out of the way and go on...

Years ago I was FB friends with his daughter, who IIRC was named Whitney Smotherman, and I seem to remember his son in law was named Spider. But she's no longer on FB and I can't find any record of her, and my Covid fogged brain can't remember the details.

@Ivorythumper his grandson was Spyder. HIs son-in-law owns (?) owned a tattoo parlor which Larry said he funded for him and his daughter.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Yes, you're right about that -- Whitney might be Spider's mom. She was heavily inked. Nice and sweet gal. We never talked about Larry, but had some good chats on FB.
-
@Ivorythumper correct on his daughter’s name IT. The 3 children are hers. And she has a brother. These were Larry’s kids from the wife who was a psychologist/therapist.

Larry won't be here this Christmas season to tell us about how he paid the bill at the grocery checkout for someone he thought might need the help during the holidays.
If I remember correctly, they weren't always grateful, but most were.
That was usually a nice Christmas story.

Sigh.

While I do miss him, I always cringed a bit at that story. I can't speak for others, but usually if I do something charitable I try really hard to not make it known. I don't know why, maybe something subconscious from my past, but I find more joy out of no one else knowing. Maybe I'm being selfish, LOL.

I pulled up a message from him a couple of days ago - even though there were only a few words. It felt like I was hearing his voice - at least my imagination of how his voice sounded. I suspect we weren't the only folks shocked by his death. In any event, miss him.
