re: Did any of you, or your family, ever cross paths with Jerry Lee Lewis ?

Jerry bought a house in Booneville, MS in the late 90s. My senior year on MWFs I would drive to Northeast Community College to take courses because I had all my high school credits and my school didn't offer many AP classes. Just about every sunny day I drove into Booneville he would be sitting out on his front porch relaxing in a chair. I waved and he always waved back. I never stopped and spoke to him. He quickly built an electric gate in his driveway because I imagine people were stopping to speak to him or get a picture because everyone knew he lived there. I think his search for more privacy led him up to DeSoto County.

How did he avoid military service?

Saw him at Hub Stacey's in Perdido a couple years back, it's impossible not to notice who his musical influence comes from

I never met him so this might be off topic but I just wanted to say- he made an album in 1964, Live at the Star Club in Hamburg (the club where the Beatles played a residency immediately before becoming famous, and got super tight and gelled as a group). Even if you're not the biggest fan of his, but like him a little, you should listen. It's great. Jerry Lee at his very best.

Apparently Elvis wasn't too fond of Jerry Lee either and banned him from Graceland after he showed up one night drunk and drove his Continental into the gates and started waving a gun around after being told Elvis didn't want to see him

Probably the best live album I have ever heard. His band for that album/show was the Nashville Teens.
I met him twice, both briefly, when he was older. He was friendly enough.

Are we related?

Live at the Palomino Club is a great album as well.
I've always been a fan of JJL

Could be, dad was 1 of 10 kids who all married and had multiple children. Spread out coast to coast and island to island now a couple more generations later. All 10 kids did very well and had some generational wealth to share.
Uncle Junior was a great father, husband, uncle, everything he did was a success including his family.

I met him at a casino concert in Bossier City. He was a dick.

Played Texas Club 3 times. Very nice guy. My dad picked him up at the airport and brought him to the club. They both were Jimmy Rodgers fans and my dad sang with him in the car. We had it on a cassette but can't find it. Ugh.
The next time he came to perform he flew in on a private jet. Some really fine looking blond watched the show on stage after he invited her. She flew back to Memphis with him.

Yes.
Everyone is familiar with Jerry Lee Lewis being cousins, but fewer know that Mickey Gilley was also first cousins with JLL and JS. But even fewer know there was a 4th first cousin named David Beatty. He was a pastor of a small church on North Acadian way back in the day.
We attended that church and that is how I met JLL.

i’m mentioned in that book, sort of
Tosches describes the makeup of the crowd at the Old South Country Jamboree in Walker, LA on April Fools’ Day 1978, in which i was in attendance
i always assumed i was part of one of the groups he identified, namely “whoremongers and idolaters, Saducees and freethinkers, dick-sucking blondes and slaves of Mammon”
Disclaimer: i have never been a blonde
