[The old timers here have heard this story, so I apologize to them. 
They have my permission to skip this.] 

Thanks Bj"rn.  I enjoyed hearing Johnny sing that song again.  
While I was at it I looked at a few others of his songs.  I 
watched one that he sang with the Statler Brothers.

That took me back to years ago, when Shirley and I went to see 
him in nearby Rochester NY, before he got famous on TV,.  We
couldn't get anybody to go with us to see "some country Singer"

It was at the Auditorium Theater, aging even then, and there was
some trouble with the sound system while the Statler Brothers were
opening for Johnny Cash.  They had to start over a couple times 
when the sound quit.  They weren't famous either.  Then one of 
them stormed off the stage to see what was going on.  He came 
roaring back and yelled out words to the effect that "We don't 
have to put up with stuff like this!"  And all four of them 
stormed off the stage, leaving it empty!

We in the audience sat stunned.  We figured that the show was over
as was our 35 mile one way trip to see Johnny.  Then after a few minutes of
quiet, Johnny Cash came out with an acoustic guitar, sat on the edge 
of the stage with his feet hanging over and said "Tell me if you 
can't hear me in the back there."

The longest standing ovation I have ever taken part in followed 
that.  When the audience finally settled down, Johnny gave an 
hour and a half performance with just him and his guitar.  
We loved The trouper Johnny Cash, and hated the Statler Brothers 
ever since.... a bunch of pompous gits.



The "Beef cube steaks" below are not cubed pieces of steak.  
I say this only because I don't know if you have "cube steak."  
Cube steak is a cut of beef, usually top round or top sirloin, 
tenderized by pounding the meat with a heavy cube of wood or 
metal.  Now-a-days I guess they use some machine that kills 
the steak with the "death of the thousand knives."
