From 1930 to 1981, Salt Lake's Terrace Ballroom was where the action was! It was located a block north of the Newhouse Hotel, which was a block north of "Coveys" Little America. In the 1960's, Lagoon's favorite entertainers were the Beach Boys and Johnny Cash, and people from Juab County would load their vehicles to watch them and the Demolition Derby. The "Man in Black" became famous throughout the world, and I attended one of his concerts in England in 1968. Secondary entertainment was watching British bloaks figure out which way a cowboy hat went on. The Tennessee Three and Carl Parkins continued their popularity but some folks thought that U.K.'s James Royal should have stuck to dropping bombs with the R.A.F. as he never did make it big in show business. June Carter died in 2003, and 20 weeks later, so did Johnny Cash, as he couldn't make it without his personal "ring of fire".
