HEY PORTER!!!!.....just love Johnny Cash.....grew up on country music, but not Johnny....and coming from a hard core 60's era type music lover, I have to say I have fell back to country music.....and it's Johnny Cash!!!!
His songwriting was so good from Day One -- absolutely loaded with details and specifics, yet so relaxed and conversational. Clearly a keen observer of life. I hate songs that just repeat the same verse or two all the time.
On this day in 1969 {June 14th} Johnny Cash performed "Hey, Porter" on his ABC-TV program 'The Johnny Cash Show'... Fourteen years earlier in 1955 the song was released as the B-side of his first Sun Records record, "Cry! Cry! Cry!"... R.I.P. Mr. Cash {1932 - 2003}...
That was the time when J..C. sent me an Autographen picture of him and the Tenn.Two and a nice letter stating that He never had mail from Germany before! The Photo is still a treasure to me! 07/2022!
"Feel that southern breeze" Breeze? What breeze? The south is humidity central! If you're on a southbound train and you can feel a breeze, you ain't in the south yet 🤣
OMG I just realized Im one of the few people who travelled across country on a train I went a cross Canada a few times those day are gone but may be coming back
Have you ever seen Bill Haley and The Comets with "Rock Around The Clock?" The Upright Guy climbs up the side of his bass and SPINS round! The vid was here on RU-vid...
ja ik herinner jonny cash via mijn broer die in de AMERIKA woonde ben ik in contact gekomen met JOHNNY CASH hij woonde in tennessie hij hadt veel bos ronde zijn HOME en ik ben zo in contact gekomen met jonny cash zijn DVD hebt ik nog steeds
@Cortexmelon Really? A sad thing, that Marshal had to go. I guess he irritated Cash by watching over him too much, which Cash probably found to be patronising behavoir, as far as I've understood. According to Grant, Cash was already back into pills again, which may also help to explain the firing of Marshal, I guess he wouldn't have done that if he were still straight.
Love the song. Personally I quit drinking seven years ago...anyone who brags about drinking normally looks like a wrinkled up paper bag by the time they're 40. Cash always looked like garbage, as talented as he was. You folks are the same. Take a good look some morning when you scrape yourself off of the floor. Cheers !
Heather Tremblay you need to check your history, Johnny Cash fired Marshall Grant in 1980. Marshall then filed a lawsuit against Johnny, and Johnny filed a lawsuit against Marshall. Marshall then became the manager of the Statler Brothers and stayed with the Statler's until their retirement in 2002. Marshall and Johnny did reconcile their differences in the late 90s and remained friends up until Johnny's death in September of 2003.
