00:00 June, you know what, I'm a big fan of yours. I'd like you to do your thing, your own thing, you know.
00:06 You've got a great heritage. Your mother, Maybel Carter, and Uncle AP were the first family of country music.
00:13 And I remember listening when I was a little bitty boy. I've been a fan of yours since I was that tall.
00:19 I was listening on the radio as soon as I was old enough to listen. I was out there listening in Arkansas.
00:26 I was in Arkansas and you were on the Mexican border stations, 500,000 watts, clear channel.
00:32 I could hear you all the way to the North Pole. I could sit down by a barbed wire fence in Arkansas and hear you singing on the barbed wire.
00:40 My grandpa said he could hear you on his false teeth.
00:45 What Johnny Cash is trying to do is let you all know that I'm older than he is.
00:50 Now that's a mean thing for a man to do to his wife. I'm just a little bit older than he is, but I deserve to be.
00:57 By the time I got in his life, he had so many miles on him, there's no way I'll ever catch up with him.
01:10 Well, he's going to indulge me a little bit and I'd like to do something for you that's a little special to me.
01:16 Actually, honest to goodness, I tell you, I started doing this when I was about 10 years old and my mother, Mary Bell,
01:24 taught me to play the auto harp back so many years ago.
01:28 And I guess most of you know we lost our mother a little over a year ago.
01:32 Well, I decided since mom was gone, I'll go back to those old Texas border days and maybe sing a little bit.
01:40 And I want to play this auto harp for you because the way she played it was so beautiful. She held it in her arms and loved it.
01:47 Me, I put it down on my lap and play it like I'm driving a truck.
01:52 But here is the old San Antonio Rose.
