Was in Branson and saw Lorretta and planned on returning the following year as they performed at the same venue to see Conway, unfortunately he passed before I ever got the chance. I have a 4 CD set that I call my Bible. I still to this day get cold chills down my back listening to his deep voice. RIP

Conway Twitty will always be the Greatest Country Music Performer to ever take a stage.I had the Honor of seeing him perform at 6 shows in my life and I will never forget the affect he had on everyone in attendance. He had everyone wanting more.I always do two or three of his songs when I do a show because he was and is my Favorite performer of all time and I am doing my part to keep his music and his memories Alive.I will always remember the day he passed away because I was being rushed to the hospital for a very large Kidney Stone when they announced it on the radio and I was in even more pain then and felt as much as I was hurting that I was about to join him.

A SUPER COOL guy! When I was a kid, mom n dad took us to the Twitty City amusement park... We were in line early in the morning, dad was standing there with us and says to my brother and I- "theres Conway Twitty, over there"... I guess Conway noticed dad and my brother and I, and he sort of motioned "come over here", which we did. Conway took is into a really big barn and showed us his big collection of old AMC Pacer cars! We had as much fun doing that as we did at the theme park. That's one of my favorite memories.
