2 - Oil Wife Gets Married

A Texas oil wife describes her courtship and married life in Texas, Florida, and Louisiana in the 1950s and 60s.

The recording was made on a porch near a farm to market road, so I apologize for the background noise. I DO NOT, however, apologize for the chirping birds and insects. Clearly they can speak for themselves. ;-)
