Geoff.C 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 The man in black will live on for ever. My favorite is good old "ring of fire", then maybe "rock island line". Kay, I also like the Lonnie Donegan version. First heard it on a EP called showcase which my elder brother bought years ago. Another JC favorite which you don't seem to hear much is "highwayman".

Called Lonnie Donegan, "King of Skiffle", cheesy picture of him about 18 years old I reckon!! It's a cd by Castle pulse, a sanctuary records label. The number is PLS CD 539. 19 of Lonnies best in my opinion. If you have no luck, pm me and I will get daughter to copy it for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest foxyjo.

Salopian 5 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 True legend. I get a few funny looks from the lads when I put him on, but have managed to convert a couple. I have too many favourites to name. When I was over in America hog hunting with Gary Hosker he told me a story that one of his friends that he hunts with told him. The guys an old fellow called Jim Motsinger and he says that Jonnie Cash and Willie Nelson were touring and due to play a gig near them so Jim wrote to them and asked them if they would like to have a days hog hunting with him and his buddies and guess what Jonnie and Willie turned up in the biggest uv they had ever seen and hunted with them. How many of todays stars would do that? I don't know if this is a true story, but I have no reason to disbelieve it. When you listen to his lyrics, he was a real man and I would like to believe that this is something he would have done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ESS Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I heard a tale that Nelson spent a fortune on his town when he hit big time,,when he was nearly bankrupt by the revenue the town chipped in to bail him out and save his house...is it true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
