man in a chicken suit? if I find it in my travels...
pubcrawler...it's yours
I returned my mum's collection of singles on Christmas Eve and couldn't resist a peek at their vinyl LP's. ( sh'es getting morbib saying things like.."who'll want my music when I die? no one!!" oh mamma, how wrong you are.
Anyway I snaffled "Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two - Story Songs of the Trains and Rivers" to bring home to tape onto cassette.) He has a song called "Big River" and so does my friend Troy Cassar-Daley. We live in what is known as Big River Country( the Clarence Valley) nine feet high...and risin'. Cool.
I was checking out the el cheapo CD's in Big W yesterday and found treasure imho....for only $6.98,a bargain!!
"Johnny CASH- Super Hits" 10 terrific tracks, some of them LIVE....woohooooo, bravo.So now I know Kris Kristofferson wrote "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down" ( got lost in the music singing along to that one) and a great version of "Jackson" with his wife. I think Michael Hutchence did a version of that with Jenny Morris, not quite sure who that was..."we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout..."
But one I hadn't heard, and even my 17 year old son got a kick out of it...."One Piece At a Time" loveth it...."got no tail fin, honey do you want to go for a spin?" what year is it? well.... '57,'58, '59.....'60,'61...."
He must have had a TV show way back when...I think I recall watching it with my dad, the Carter Family featured a lot. Mum says dad hardly listens to music these days...that's sad. He needs a DJ to "hit pick" for him.
I listened to the rest of "The Gospel Road" the other day. Another song I like "Children" laughing little children.....
I actually had Cash on my list of baby names for boys at one stage. Yep...I quite like the man in black.....what have I ever done , to deserve even one, of the pleasures of known...what could I ever do, that was worthy of you, and the kindness you've shown...
Happy New Year music, johnnycashmusiclovers
