I first saw Minnie perform at a church convention in St. Paul, Minnesota,
way back in the 1950s. She came onstage in her country get up w/
the price tag dangling from her hat. The crowd was laughing before she
said a word.
Read her biography some years ago. As some posters have mentioned,
she wasn't really a hillbilly. She sure was fun though.
Tnx 4 posting.

@mickerin64 Minnie was a hill billy. As someone else mentioned Sarah Orphelia Cannon who played Minnie was a lady. She received an English Degree from Vanderbilt & was a teacher before she started performing. I toured the Ryman this week & they said Sarah made a big point of the fact she and Minnie were not the same person. In fact Minnie's tribute at the hall of fame doesn't have a death date at her request. She said she as Sarah may die but Minnie would live in forever.
Excellent, thanks for posting
