LOL!No one can make me laugh like Mrs.June Carter Cash.She was a wonderful comedian and great singer also!Thanks for sharing this memory!!

[gilgamess]

It's the rare musician that can mix comedy and good musicianship. This is one example, Spike Jones and his City Slickers and Roy Clark are others. When I was a boy, I saw more comedy out of Clark, and then I saw him perform on "The Odd Couple" show on both guitar and violin and then I recognized how versatile he was. Unless your shtick is "I can't play", the jokes work so much better when you are as talented as these three were.

@gilgamess June first recorded with Homer & Jethro in 1949; they had a minor hit with a comedy take on "Baby, It's Cold Outside". Prior to that, H&J were session players. Even after stardom, they both remained first-call Nashville pickers. Jethro (Kenneth Burns) was Chet Atkins' brother-in-law.

[gilgamess]

@moproducer Thanks for the information and I am not the least bit surprised about their talent.

[moproducer]

@gilgamess I neglected to mention that H&J had a long association with the Carters. They started working together with Chet Atkins at KWTO in Springfield, MO in the late 1940s. It was while at KWTO that RCA signed both Atkins and H&J to recording contracts (the Carters were already with RCA, and Ezra Carter was managing Atkins). By 1950, the Grand Ole Opry had signed the Carters with Chet Atkins, and H&J made the move to Nashville.

Hey? They forgot a verse...."I had a girl in Tennessee, she had a face like a chimpanzee...she had a wart on the end of her chin...she said it was a dimple, but a dimple turns in." Tennessee, Tennessee...

Great classic country comedy. Love it!

[moproducer]

@RedDirtRules Yep, and another: "Behind the barn on a cold dark night, I had a stick of dynamite. I stuck it in the north end of a south-bound cow, Now I know why they call it a cow-pile. Tennessee, Tennessee..."

[rockinredneck57]

Tennessee, Tennessee. Just the song I've been looking for on here! Thanks a bunch!

[orbit15]

too funny, thank you. B

[wentwirth]

lol - that was awesome

[LLFcountrygirl56]

Gee I wish I could dance like June!

[bdzmusicprod]

OOH That's Corny...but it's supposed to be. It takes alot of talent to pull off a routine like this and the three of these folks were loaded with it. How 'bout June and Homer doing their version of what Soupy Sales made famous as the "Soupy Shuffle". Too bad there are no longer people like this around to make us laugh.

[mcgastelo]

Haha; that was great. I think June should have done way more stuff with Homer and Jethro, they were fantastic together!

[twofortheroad]

Is this from the 1969-1970 Johnny Cash show? Very funny.

[junecarter4ever]

[msrobzombie]
