This is a great program -- I love it.
By the way, one of the guys in King Harvest (?), who had the hit with "Dancing in the Moonlight," used to live within driving distance of Ithaca New York USA, and would come in to buy any covers of the song.He was doing that in the 1990s, when I worked there.

Back when "Dancing" was an AM hit, one of the DJs on WOLF (Syracuse New York) said that the song had a 50/50 chance of being immoral, something I've remembered for 50 years or so. It made an impression -- though I don't think it sounds immoral. May a little witchy.

The guest list included artists like Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Shel Silverstein. As a form of entertainment, Cash had his guests gather around and perform whatever song they were currently working on. Silverstein played a song entitled “A Boy Named Sue.” Cash thought it was both hilarious and genius, so much so that he asked Silverstein to write down the lyrics for him...."

He was a hell of a guitar player, though. Never wanted to be in the spotlight. He would have been happy to stay part of the Wrecking Crew.

What an excellent show Joe!! Made me miss the music conversations I used to have with my father, he would have appreciated this show so much, wish I could play it for him.
Also, The Air That I Breathe was the exit music in Godzilla vs King Kong, I only know this because someone in my house watched it last night and I walked in the room to it…it’s been in my head all day! :)
