My dad said he was at a state fair and him and a girl held a cigar for him back in the 50's. He left the cigar full length for the girl and broke it in half first before my dad held it, and that they held stuff in the hands, mouth, and crotch. This was in Indiana. I was trying to find some state fair videos for him to reminisce. Do you know if any exist?
Lash LaRue was a personal friend of my family. I took him to show and tell in the 6th grade. I will always have happy memories of him in my life. He'll be featured tonight, June 24th, 2023 on OETA as the celebrity photo segment during their movie of the week.
Waylon Jennings mentioned him in his book and talked about him coming to Littlefield, Texas when Waylon was growing up. He also mentioned him in his song “Littlefield”.
Dave Letterman got a first hand lesson on how to handle a bullwhip from the master, Lash Larue....He had never handled a bullwhip in his life but lied to the producer of his first western in order to get the job. After the producer learned how Lash had gotten by with his deception, he hired a bullwhip trainer. Lash used his whip usually in the last scene when the bad guy was trying to get a way. He made one movie in which the finale was a realistic bullwhip fight with a masked villian...by the look on Lash's face, you can tell some of the blows were hitting home.
Now of course, many New Yorkers, and people worldwide (pants) have always admired the whip and what it can do to and for others, but one must go to or join special clubs for that sort of thing, or employ certain professionals, ususlly females, whose expertise in the art is extrodanary and satisfying. Or so I was told by both genders of the clergy. "Hallelujah, Amen!" (So they raved.)
@@melissapayne7396 you can reach me on fb. under reonna george. where you can meet some family. I dont know much about that side of the family being my dad wasnt in my life for a long time. I ve since met alot of family on fb, Do you go on fb?
How do you know that? Unless you have personal knowledge. This is how a person's speech can be affected by a TIA (a trans ischemic attack) or small stroke. Very common residual effect from stroke. His comments seem lucid and normal. I would guess Mr. LaRue has had a cardiac event. It is unkind to make assumptions, especially if someone has had medical problems that impact their body language, etc.
He wasn’t drunk. Dad, as a child, was on comic book covers with Uncle Lash, his Godfather. If you watch his movies you’ll see he always talked out of the side of his mouth.
@@danof1000faces I think Lash's alcohol problem came in later years...He commented about how much Fuzzy St. John drank and how he couldnt understand why....but then he met Fuzzy's wife who treated him like a child....Fuzzy couldnt even cash his own check. Lash called him "an angel unaware"....Several of the cowboys drank...even Gene Autry who managed to keep it private along with his affair with Gail Davis....but they usually stay sober for the personal appearances.
I came here to find out what Mr Wolf meant when he said to Vincent Vega, "how about you, Lash Larue, can you keep your spurs from jinglin' and janglin'?"
Lash was my grandfather. Thank's for posting this.

my parents knew lash larue everyone use to call him lucky. when we lived in dallas, texas years ago he came to our house and play his guitar.
@melissapayne7396 my father and your grandfather were friends back in the 70's and 80's. I'm so happy to know someone who knew him personally ❤️

That is wild. What year were you in 6th grade?

One of my favorites from childhood.
Great video. Thank you.
Lash was rally someone special on big and small screen.
Al had excellent coordination.
And once Dave left network TV, he grew a beard that made him look like Lash's old sidekick, Fuzzy Q Jones.

The man that instructed Harrison Ford for Raiders of the Lost Ark
My husband was one of his boyhood fans..
Long live lash
Loved Lash
two legends

He also remembers a cheap version of Lash by the name of Whip Wilso.

Classic line!! 🤘😎🤘

Dave is such an awkward dork!
Oops! Whip Wilson.
Hes my distant cousin.
I mean him when I was a young teenager. He showed me a demonstration with the whip and then gave me his autograph picture. Nice man.
Interested in hearing your story, as he was my mom's dad.
@@melissapayne7396we are family.
@@reonna905 I'm trying to fill in gaps as far as ancestors go, so I would love to get in touch with you to see what you know.

Wow...Lash was hammered!!! These days he would've been charged with reckless endangerment while operating bullwhip!!!

I met a woman who knew him. The daughter of Frances Kavanaugh who wrote some of his scripts. She said he was a drinker. So could be.

Lash's granddaughter here. That was his regular speech, and he was also hard of hearing.

Thats some damn fine chicken salad..
