Sneaky Gun Runner SASS 79775 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Here is your cool fact of the day, Professor. My mom worked with Wanda's mom at Tinker AFB in Midwest City, OK. I never personally met her, but my mom did a few times. Mom bought a used couch off of Wanda and we had it in our house for years and years. In the early '70s, Wanda apparently had a thing for Teal Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met her in late 64 at Spanky McFarland [Our Gang Spanky] Bar-B-Que in OKC. She pulled up in a turquoise Caddy with white interior and top. First saw her perform in 61 at the Continental Roller Rink in Tulsa - she rocked. I was smitten Tull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack White and his band members were dragging tail at the end of the day - Wanda was just getting going good. Most of the footage featuring her was from the last 8 or 9 takes.
