Get Ryhthm -1958

Aww... one of my Johnny Cash favourite !
Hi Levi !!!
Town Hall Party, Los Angeles CA November 15, 1958.
GET RYTHM
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Come on, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
Put taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues

A Little shoeshine boy never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bendin' low at the peoples' feet
On the windy corner of the dirty street
Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
How'd he keep from gettin' the blues
He grinned as he raised his little head
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said

Get rhythm when you get the blues
Come on, get rhythm when you get the blues
A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It'll shake all the trouble from your worried mind
Get rhythm when you get the blues

Get rhythm when you get the blues
Come on , get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
Put taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues

Well, I sat down to listen to the shoeshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy
Slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you're a mighty little boy to be-a workin' that way
He said I like it with a big wide grin
Kept on a poppin' and he said again

Get rhythm when you get the blues
Come on, get rhythm when you get the blues
It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
Does a million dollars worth of good for you
Get rhythm when you get the blues

Luther always played like that, he was always nervous.

It's not that he doesn't want to be there you jackass, he's just a little nervous.

The lead guitar player was named Luther and he played with Johnny from 1951 until the day he died (when he was then replaced by carl perkins temporarily) and he always looked like that when he played!

[adlozi]

hahaha, yes, true :)

[fixedgearplanet]

LOL Yeah the lead guitar player looks like he'd rather be anywhere, but there. Especially at about 1:12, that cracks me up! As for Johnny Cash, HE will always be THE MAN!

That man was one of our free humans and claims to civilization, scaring the jehozephat out of Fogies from coast to coast. Man could he rock! Long may he play!
