I was lucky to see Kris and Rita headline an all day Country Bluegrass Festival in October 1973, when they came on stage that night they were backlit by a huge golden Harvest Moon, it was incredible and yes their love just oozed all over, fantastic day and night. They don’t have shows like that now. $10.00 tickets and I got tipsy on the tequila some people bought and went skinny dipping in the lake, very early 70’s.❤❤❤❤

Instant connections happen to people all the time. Sometimes it’s just the appreciation for the blue eyes, the smile with a big laugh, or a profile, quickly gone. Other times the connection lasts for years, decades, even though the connection is only briefly acted upon a few times. Did I wish for more? Of course. Did I know as well as he did we’d be a disaster actually together? Reluctantly, yes. Did I love him until the day he died & still do? Absolutely.

I heard Rita being interviewed about her marriage to Kris. She said she had to finally take her daughter and leave because of all the women he had on the road. It was a situation where she had to save herself from an unfaithful spouse. She said she would always love him but she had to leave for self preservation!

[@PV96]

I’m sure her story is true but, Kris had some major demons going on. I don’t excuse what he did or what she needed to do but, damn all those demons he had to deal with gave us probably one of the best song writers in generations. None, absolutely none, of todays singers/writers could even lick his boots. It’s terrible to appreciate the results of someone’s pain but, listening to his music puts us on another plane.
