beggar my daddy worked at a factory and arrows and also the fender guitar others a dealer because it's considered it's often a guitar as a mobile phone with my mom at the back seventy two things i'd like to apply for a social security number then ugly divorce money as she for me the money they go by this a guitar but i had to work at nasa cut the arson and so green cards so there's really no much much difference in the music business selling green cards in communities you know you do not only are you know is saying and play in only been called ambassador munter music ambassador of music city but i found out as i read pilgrims those kinds of profits you have a real gift for writing all over our true iraqi army i decided a long drought with no name drop in the water and energy not listeners
a little late i want to do a gene autry says warning and i noticed that he was in the cowboy all fine they're ready all find the movie all of finding every all aflame to possibly be a gene autry it accomplished and at that particular time those were no one military of songs get on a regular basis and never put your eggs warm glad that got him in of years they go after serving different things but the thing i really am come under appreciating what is the gift of the written word i love riding riding last it inspires people i was thinking i was going to the atlanta airport and the hands are effect pretended dr martin luther king at the airport and i read one of his hand written speeches i thought this is written in it now not that long ago in nineteen fifty seven or eight minutes and i stood there in the airport which kills all americans are for the war as a
lot of power to bless her affiliate there and there's segments of the book word progress on joe biden there's a soul sequence of progress in which you talk about when it started on what it might have been that really connected you with this story not just in real life but in a real sense it's a story of the music of your life and the n and it's almost a litany of range and different experiences and they range from a horrible will to the smell of the season for the first time due to connie smith's picture and it's a diverse recitation and i will tell you lonnie its own and is terrific it's a terrific
piece of writing and then there's another simonton you mentioned lima mccain when you talk about this i guess is part of that same litany the shock of reading about the death of president kennedy schumer the king the shooting of george wallace and the shooting of the betty and arm and in a way that's frozen and makes the reader stop and think boy what's behind this worries his kid and it wears its heart and you want to read more so i congratulate you why that was the wetter and what i said in a hotel room round two are first of all have advice of anybody's in concert to have never tried to write a book and run on so are not that we were and the violence and where hold up in the same hotel for like solar eight days every day and try to get up and force and try to get them to start to build today try that there was that the paper like this and one night after cancer came and just
ruin given up either out of the worst artist and i simply went back on mother is always had a grace and she says there's nothing to do on the ice on outsiders always plunked down inside go back home with four and so i simply went back on the very first memory ahead with the will and went on from there and started singing almost like the song and i couldn't say no it's exactly right it's lyrical and a lot a lot of things inside of me like oh my uncle's death remembering all of my sister's has what's normal ticking faster our town little things like that and revisiting my grandmother's funeral was gonna things it really poor and it was in one of one such right well ryan onto an end the cover is a menu you just to take a look at that cover their own them on the screen goes i think that cover represents photographs i know you moved our freezer an enigma right to a lawyer i don't i don't know you i mean you could not be professional
photographer normal but that the way that we're suspicion of pictures for twenty five years to get enough home and focusing on in my book but i love that all the measuring of words and images as presented in building solos science and profits i make the book saying in fact and that the book say last look at some photographs end them and you come in oh for solos picture you didn't take that tell you their voices last week i was thirteen years old and that was taken a rhinestone mississippi says jon lester flatt man and mark that happens use parachute national and as a matter of uniform you know i said that i may become of them that the next seven years of my life after that was spent an entire warehouse in a cruiser the finest concert halls and cow pastures in the nation
and i think the next one is one love love abuses together in london is a major human of money earlier is a fender guitar talk about red birds is exactly and that's me and my sister as senator mitchell county for a talent contest there and have a good thing we did when we place a baton twirler this law and then and then there is the a photograph of a policeman of july twenty fourth nineteen seventy was a big day in our town the monastery say wisconsin if he came for the choctaw indian fair for a phone and bob ferguson and her producer and i as laurel county's ms allen cause i thought she was so pretty and i had my mom think nearby yellow shirt that this should note as you never gets asked my mom was again we're your camera one last ditch attempt at one flask to her phrasing and that was the first pitcher ever to nineteen seventy in july on the way home or killed along the merrier and
added we sure did it with little wild a little while to get there but last year the one woman and that's another important then and moving global and she shows up and later photographs i'm not sure we have in this sequence but and then there's a photograph here last year the governor called his due there still almost missed me a ha leicester the thing that starts my mother took the photograph but they know stars a lot of fodder for sam my eyes are dead center on last year i watched a movie made and that is that there was very true to form for life in those days i really after the flatt and scruggs bright color of a lot of muslim area lesson or a broke up and i consistently that when the nineteen seventy two to a new road being you know you talk about an interesting thing about book is
there is your narrative prose there are stories that all people have told that you recount those one simon in which to have an interview you conduct an interview and all that together now works around these photographs in the end you with the rare exception of a couple weeks a new all the bar at the picture of guys live really at your own camera that maybe with this look at these newly comment on them as we go through hell interrupt you just just once in a while to come along as a question about this photograph of the first one is johnny cash there is in full power you're a great admirer of yours and well he's got a musical father paolo and then after less a lesser worker with less took on the top of the ropes they showed me the basic rules of show business and i didn't have any idea that there is anything beyond that we'll go north with johnny
cash really show the world you gonna kick a phenomenal job bottom and which were busted sit under the nominal didn't i didn't have a scratch on it get on a kick a platinum and worked and it isn't a kid watching a kid or ginger employ one modern country that's the plan the money to cut his pocket knife the car business is jr see on a big cross in the order would you do that for ward i'm right off the farm and the picture of the man with this writing this song there and this is a forum that heller well the real title of that his country music's mount rushmore the subtitle is very real to them i interviewed his new wheels and and that is taken during the
session and that was willy is a more recent picture a drawing that was taken in the spring and ninety nine and cinnamon hill johnson's plantation jamaican so then the bear family graveyard died a great great experience down there because i want them to put his voice on a tennis and poem that i use on my own poem and after record we got on the golf cart and as part of our talks by the sea still some golf balls and the two have a fake flowers region sits on the way home from that probably say in the book that minorities are your iron is all right but i know it libya tape delay before the public sees this book we read this morning that the annual for that the giant on hospital with pneumonia again animal and you know i wish it hinge in general all of us and and i'm sure you say that he is on the resin all i am
and i was married to a justice pro quo and there's an online illegal song called weekend at hotel california relies you can check out anytime you like you can never leave and i know for a comment that what you're part of his life is a part of years you can check out that you know really because what he's there he's always so it is and i think he's in the minds and hearts of them not just country music on a fence across this nation and around the world cinnamon and martin there's a photograph of that a grammy of roy our mission and i was a journalist we're editor one moreover some films that find a tragic fire and hit that home in nashville i hate to admit this while roy or was sung was famous around the world and well known to all congolese people in nashville he was
virtually unknown is a long pier into the place in nashville home country music why'd you put that photograph in their telling the porcelain and his impact on his influence well my opinion is the national very guilty of what you just said a lot of times it hides a lot of issues treasury never some reason or another they just don't quite make it to the surface rose always known your heart my heart but as you say it took a long time to really get across the planet i think back on the archangel rock and roll and i think he's one of those voices that comes this town once in a lifetime he's a once in a lifetime treasures coming talent and i think i love it when people who offer a while but they come back with a whole new legion of fans was so bruce springsteen and bob dylan tom petty inc a lion at a whole new generation of fans going around or listen and cotton
adopting him and making something really special of a former body workout not gonna happen for me and they did an hour so happy one no affirmative always happen for him when he passed away you really on top again he was the balance that well somewhere in the book there's a page report on that says something like this so carlos presley but there's more than one came around here and first and said it was the king the king khan to music his photographs there to destroy that quote game i was a rose at various imagery and algebra and one day it had snowed hard snow in essence is the first season after he passed away now is john by us all some folks from the country to germany or pickup truck and look like they're the cast let's
listen to drop her cows over the cell and onward cemetery in this for thor hammer and a copper crown that he had cut out ten steps in the ground i had my camera past turn the car around one bicep we're roy acuff and usually assertive in kenya countries into default and stapleton seasons and he asked that we thought only says yassin one of those pressures are there more one cleaned up before nato it's all animal cloning comes through their own admission the split between the plants roads and i guess was over a number of things listeners all into over whether it was a conflict about music of money and stalin willie was running for everybody you want to be part of that that act but but you've got a picture of that you took earle and mac wiseman and then anybody picked anybody pick a banjo like
curlin as well there as year one thousand sew they may i mean this is something about the sounds banjo like you're in such close warned americans that touches your heart i think there's a difference there some banjo it's probably with her left hand and our you know to different places but i don't think anybody can touch our abandonment or will he was terrific is terrific and then you also had some experiences with bill monroe and the great pitcher bill and chet atkins nowhere was where was that that they were really putting together now when the ryman was reopened there was a television show account celebrated the fact and that was in the dressing room at the ryman energy bill was a great guy at was the first country music star song person perform the joust war zone again his mandolin pick of this is gone already
and so we became friends and i but this particular so by year bill was very competitive person who didn't like to be taught anything and say it was mccain's were your own writing ortiz along with tennessee ha ali and then there is the only one they limited and he says that of your own microphone in india commentator la adele is as puzzled called the moratorium willie nelson was santa claus learned a dormant as santa clauses house he played taylor cole and i wore demons that are you know that are the books is chock full of anecdotes and and rich stories and
and george jones and tammy wynette almost legendary all americans and for the divorce and for the life after a marriage their lives after marriage there is a one of a picture of family across the plays we'll have other occasions george but there's ten am full of mills it's hard to remember now that she's on the water but they were some couple of that well this was taken at that owen bradley studio in nineteen ninety four you learn one we have often snow there was an ncaa records a staged event called bradley born sessions and was young artist than a couple veterans came by to sing a song with george jones role as we try to take our weapon at the microphone tammy in georgia that record it says they're divorced bad it was understood that they were missing gold ring we cut that landed in advance when i walked in there with every
georgia's camp and candies and there is more tension in the middle of in the music started says like everything fell and as we all know you were in the middle of some magic time but that's that's the sadness and to have bacchanal in far six years ago a lot has changed well isn't love the love of a photograph of george surrounded by hand and until you is that what is that what is that saying they're rehearsing for a song that the three of them sang together and as the conference i'll overtake right there almost like as if on the fly on the wall and as candid as very candid and pose and garden shows the essence of whom there at work while the great george short stories and i have never heard it before you told a person who george and keith together and then they are to tell a story of i use the rolling stones are
meeting the voice well that the truth matters that was a big star game and director writer and he was there at the venerable plaza hotel niekamp never been hopeful for what clint days it was really law then he was nervous and as the days when the biggest rock star of all time was nervous to sing a song with george jones and the new carbon george jones is so focused and simone who usually loves country music is ridiculous of iraq so a headache on the recent watson and the boys can keep richard whitman abilities apple once again demanded the first note of music buster all walls do bump well then there is literature and there's a resilient and then they're playing god said
i love this man i think you won the most amazing talent that we've ever had to admire america last year as there are in the awards after the grammys and he made an interesting paled everybody mean the limousine pulled up the who's getting in this like the kenyans had arrived at it was wonderful you know just go back to that didn't pick your daughter or go around there is a little more talk and some anecdotes men and so followers around arlene dahl in talking about our random is a great quote from merle haggard uses a willie ahmed is a little bit more within the group will or end up in roger moore into the country's role for nurses in the caseloads below me willie nelson merle haggard dwight yoakam and dolly parton to davina she's bubbles as illness it became law as he walked over the course the first thing guys do that i'm a pretty dialed her
dress and so we were talking at over an immoral to get to different places as you know people are always talking about are blue so much they never quite get her eyes in her so i'm one of the persons years were wonderful woman and a white says yes he's like an angel's the horrendous and yet the cities as well as people of god blessed with everything looks charm he's a wicked sense of humor and a certain issues are one to say no to a wood and you feel you have got its charms we were just all in all wrong praise and ali williams and one where if i became his attorney said he thinks he's going to roll papers law all that is a lot closer until willie couple has lived for one thing we can look at the thin man just briefly is poor because my neighbor is eleven the neighbor is your rhinestones and injured ha for wire ms lutz needed is
going where visitors to me is a traditional country music was fading hello but it also takes you know it was a child and it's about the quality of my bed in the afternoon no one would want to forward major uses prove to be a great friend and finally three generations in one picture that's forty three strong photograph ailes called leopold or that hank williams sr irene's through their montgomery alabama she was buried alongside a road in and out i don't want to carry to the graveyard baby and i caught the two this is hangin and it won't work at this is that i've heard and said baby your grandpa was a man who could snatch them and i know that to be another book i'd love to end of the book i don't know what's next hour realized after the poem howl after his book was wrapped up there's a feel like a man inside and
a bit more knowledge stuff i had to face it in and it spelled out there the culture the javelin of the political end of so many on that have gone to do that the view of this flight hours acquitted nato international opinion to be around the lights and the master arctic americans bill monroe lester flatt girls and johnny cash and all these masters be like a young parent somebody like that and so i really into effect and endowed at this point eight years like i don't sing no garbage bins backstage pass it off on and get off the bus and arrest by an iconic queen so that writing songs and also write and i didn't hang around the pentagon says improved sort of given set among the martian heavens he was innocent you say early in the book and of the first time you heard the applause you knew you had found where you want to be passed difference of applause you get frightened books and
and sometimes critics can be cruel tradition of love this vote will oppose it say knowing about country music i know this is the book one company is all take you word for because i never was scared about that as our precinct critics and with him saying to do forest and this book was never intended to be a book it was a hobby turned into a book home and got insurance so much on those intimate franzen and put them on display for critics to shoot it and so i hope it works for verbal a really good you weren't you weren't critics don't bother you know i was bummed i know one is good and i went back and our critic values and mirrors we are a more effective anyway sometimes small auction
