How much older is Marty Stewart and Connie?
Marty Stuart and Grand Ole Opry star Connie Smith have a rather unorthodox love story, but it’s one with a very happy ending. Stuart is 17 years Smith’s junior, and he was just 12 years old when he first met her.
How much older is Marty Stuarts wife?
Stuart is 17 years younger than his country legend wife of over 20 years. Smith was his mother’s favorite singer, and when he was just 11 years old, he was taken to one of her shows in his hometown of Philadelphia, Mississippi. (Whatever the price of admission was, it was worth it.)
What’s up with Marty Stuart’s neck?
It’s simple. The scarf was a very early standard of country & western fashion. Marty Stuart started playing country music professionally at the ripe age of 14 in Lester Flatt’s bluegrass band. As can be seen in the picture below, he was wearing fluttery neck wear even then, like most everyone was in Flatt’s band.
Why does Marty Stuart wear scarves?
In fact, it seems like Marty’s ever-present scarf is more a nod to his country music roots than anything else. The tradition of country singers wearing scarves goes way back to the days of Gene Autry (“the Singing Cowboy”) and Roy Rogers. Some of the earliest country-western singers wore scarves, so Marty does, too.
