  • Nobody has commented yet on the fact that JC is playing? a mandolin on this one, what's up with that?

  • Yeah, that little mandolin looks like a toy in the hands of a man his size, doesn't it? Looks like he enjoys it though.

  • I have a question. Can take clips from youtube like this one for example on your pc? thx anyway

  • Just Google 'download video from youtube' and you will get several options.

  • JUNE ROX!!

  • She plays so good. I like the autoharp!

  • no wonder the harp has a broken string.....

  • Because the autoharp and mandolin are both very classic string instruments and they go well together, that's probably why Johnny was playing that along with June because of the particular sound and type of song they were performing.

  • I like this, JC backing the second best lady in Country Music = June Carter Cash, her mother being the best .... Of course.

  • wasn't it ma Maybelles auto harp she's playing I assume it was passed down to her, I see JC playing that mandolin, he had many talents and was a gifted musician as well as a singer

  • She is really beautifull in this one. And what a smile!!

  • @blargnase The autoharp seems complicated to non-musician as it has a LOT of strings, and to musicians who don't play the autoharp they think it's a cheat-instrument, and originally it was (it was a parlour instrument to allow the masses to play music) but it's come a long way since then and techniques have been devised to make the autoharp more versatile and more complicated.. (I'm a picker not a strummer) and June is picking here as well as strumming (hope this info was useful!).. ~ Ryan :O)

  • @blargnase the big deal is that technique... looks pretty hard for my eyes. I guess i would play exactly 50 seconds and then my hand would break ;-)

  • @Kaitipoo I'm sorry, I don't get it. It looks like she's just chording and strumming, like you do. I haven't had a chance to play an autoharp yet, so I'm probably underestimating what she's doing, but as a guitar player, I have to say this looks rather trivial. I'm not dissing the song or the performers, I'm just wondering what the big deal is.
