Sarah and Maybel set the standards for country music and they're pretty high standards
that all of us would aspire to and live by in country and that is that we would approach our
art with integrity, musical integrity especially.
And for me that means Simplest is the name of the
game.
I still think about Maybel and her recordings or the Carter family recordings
in the early years how all they needed was was that guitar or two guitars and I've discovered
rediscovered there's nothing wrong with that.
What was the first song that you ever heard the
Carter family perform and what was the first song that you ever learned by them?
The first
Carter family song I ever heard on the radio and learned was Picture on the Wall.
There's an old [F#] faded picture [B] on the wall it's been hanging there for many years
it's [E] a picture of my mother [B] and I know there is no other that can take [F#] the place of mother
Picture [B] on the wall, on the wall, on the wall
how I love that dear old picture on [F#] the wall time is swiftly passing by and [E] I bow my head and cry
[B] for I know I'll meet [F#] my mother after [B] all.
I [E] like the hope in that song you know the
I was just nice mama songs are always good in country music.
The first time you saw my mom at
the Grand Ole Opry do you remember that night and the feelings that you had?
Well that was
I think they were guests on the Grand Ole Opry in 1950 and I came from Arkansas in a bus with
my senior class on a senior class trip to Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry and the Smoky Mountains
and we saw the Grand Ole Opry that night and I saw June Carter on stage and I was sitting way up
there in the balcony watching her and it'd been my dream just to see her you know I'd heard her on
the I was a Carter family fan but I was a June Carter fan too and I sit up there thinking
someday I'm gonna meet her someday I'm gonna get her autograph.
I never did find out if he got [N] mom's
autograph but he got a whole lot more I'll tell
