Never cared for his music. When he married his 2nd cousin who was 13, he was 22. Where he was from in Louisiana people married young. He was first married at age 16 in 1949. When he married his 2nd cousin not only was she under age but his was still married to his then 2nd wife. Oh well.... He was married a total of 7 times. 

It was a different time, and place. Their marriage was legal, or would've been had he been properly divorced. Nor was the age uncommon in the south at that time. I believe he and Myra were married for 12-13 years.
