This was at the Carter Family Fold, about 45 minutes up the road from where I live. Johnny Cash (a Carter by marriage, of course) would drop in from time to time over the years to play a show- anyway, I was working at a butcher shop in JC at the time, and a friend came by and asked if I wanted to go to the Fold that night to see Johnny Cash play. I decided to stay and work. Johnny died a few short months later, and the show at the Fold ended up being one of his last performances. They say you should never have any regrets, but I would be lying if I said missing this show wasn’t a big one.
John: I was there! I have a CD of the show, but I’m really glad you found this video. It was a great show, but sad as well because of the obvious toll June Carter Cash’s death was taking on him.
