I was praying backstage at the Strand. I could hear the screaming for encores with the USO in Texas.I remembered the tatoo parlor and the Palladium and the crowds waiting outside the chapel when Louis and I were married. I remembered all of the rough times which you sometimes forget, and I remembered the joys." 16 pages of photographs. 189 pages. Spine is creased. Prev. owners address label on inside of front cover..
