By the time I saw the rodeo, it was in its heyday – even featuring a who’s who of country singers, from Roy Acuff to George Strait. Former inmate Juanita Phillips, better known as the stripper “Candy Barr,” even performed at the rodeo with a group of female inmate singers. Phillips, who was serving three years for a drug conviction, achieved notoriety after her release by being linked to Jack Ruby, the Dallas club owner who shot Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963. O’Neal Browning, sentenced to life imprisonment for the axe murder of his father, gained celebrity on both sides of the bars as the top hand in seven rodeos. Rodeo clowns Charlie Jones and Louie Nettles — “Fathead” and “Soupbone” — broadcast their routines on Huntsville’s radio program, Behind the Walls. “They give me life fer just goin’ off an leavin’ my wife.” “Now wait a minute, Fathead…How did you leave your wife?” “Why, I left her dead!”
