It is my Aunt Virginia who was married to Calvin Nelson. Uncle Cal is
now deceased. My aunt and uncle went under the show name of Zeb and
Cousin Easy. Uncle Cal had been in show business with his first
partner, Mandy. They performed under the stage name "Ma and Pa
Perkins," as well as "Zeb and Mandy." After he partnered with my aunt, the
record producer misunderstood my aunt's cursive "Z" for a "J," so some
of their records were produced under Jeb and Cousin Easy.
However, they also performed under the names Zeb and Cousin Easy. My
aunt became Cousin Easy at one of my uncle's performances when Mark
Denning (of "Teen Angel" fame) wanted her to come up on stage with
Uncle Cal. She did not perform with Uncle Cal when they were first
married. Mark Denning said to the crowd, "Let's give Easy a big hand.
Come on Cousin Easy." Everyone started clapping. She said she was so
embarrassed that she came up on the stage and joined Zeb in the act.
And so "Cousin Easy" was born. I have heard her redo the her part of
the act in recent years....sounds just the same. (2008 -Jim) She loves
knowing that people are still enjoying their comedy. -Thanks
