Some people might be surprised who was in the audience during the first year of the Kerrville Folk Festival: Lyndon Baines Johnson and his wife Lady Bird, along with UT Coach Darrell Royal. From the images below, it looks like the former president and party had a good time. LBJ's hair was a little long, don't you think?

Hello. Thanks so much for posting these photos of President Johnson, Lady Bird and Darrell Royal at the Kerrville Folk Festival. In the first two photos, the young woman with the long hair, on the next row, just between Lady Bird and Royal is me! I'm so glad Royal leaned to the left so I would be in the picture with the President and First Lady! Gail Reaben
ReplyDeleteI was at the '72 Kerrville Folk Festival & I thought it was only at the Quiet Valley Ranch. Were there events happening in town too?
