It rained as only it can rain in southeast Texas during both Carl and Jerry Lee's sets. The audience was unfazed by the gully washer; I remember Jerry Lee doing the dirty bop to "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" in six inches of dance floor water. When Johnny Cash came out to headline the show, so did the sun...gloriously. I remember thinking God must really like Johnny Cash, I do not exaggerate when I tell you I heard heavenly angels singing as the sun and Johnny Cash took center stage that late afternoon,. The first words out of his mouth were "how high is the water momma", the opening line from "Five Feet High and Rising". I was stunned by the power of his artistic timing. The second song was "Ballad of A Teenage Queen". Every song he sang that day floored me. I chose "Teenage Queen" for the tribute because it's the tune I sang to myself all the way home in the passenger seat of my father's old red Studebaker. | Appears On | | Performance #2: | |
