In 1959, guitarist Ward (19) spots an enchanting girl in the audience when he performs. “She stood there in a homemade floral dress. Really, she was the most beautiful girl in the hope.” There was no Facebook at the time, so Ward asks the beautiful apparition to dance that night. But to really ensnare her, he has to enlist the help of the pastor. Now, sixty years later, the two eighties are even more in love than then. “A picture of her in that floral dress still hangs in my office.”
