Tre Twitty, Conway Twitty’s Grandson, Sings Here; Imogene Day Honored
From the Greeneville (SC) Sun
A couple of hundred country music fans were on hand at the Greene County Fairgrounds Saturday evening to hear Tre Twitty, the grandson of one of country music’s legendary entertainers, the late Conway Twitty.
The young Twitty performed several hits made famous by his grandfather, including “15 Years Ago,” a tune written by Greeneville’s own Ray Smith, as well as the timeless “Hello, Darlin’,” “Linda on My Mind” and “Tight Fittin’ Jeans.”
Prior to Twitty performing, a special presentation was made to Imogene Day, widow of the late Claude “Tiny” Day, a regional country-music concert promoter and longtime sports editor of The Greeneville Sun.
Greeneville Mayor Darrell Bryan, the former owner of WSMG Radio, presented a plaque to Mrs. Day in honor of her work, and that of her husband, for country music.
