It was about 1957 or 1958 - I could find out the exact date if I looked it up - I saw Jack Cassidy and his then wife Shirley Jones - sing a program of hymns and church songs at the East Dallas Christian Church in, of course, Dallas, Texas. Both were appearing at the Dallas Summer Musicals at State Fair Music Hall in the musical WISH YOU WERE HERE. Cassidy was less well known, but Shirley Jones was extremely well known as the heroine of OKLAHOMA, the Fred Zinnemann film of the Rogers and Hammerstein musical. This of course was a thrill. One of the church members was on the board of the DSM. So there was a little Sunday evening concert with just the two of them and a pianist! Unforgettable.
