June Carter "No Swallerin' Place"

i understand completely why Johnny Cash fell in love with June.she was very very very very charming.

omfg, i've always loved june carter cash

Amazing. We lived about 6 miles from their home in Hendersonville, TN. My wife worked at the local JoAnn craft store and June would come in and shop every now and then. She was such a nice lady with true class.
I fear we are fast losing our heritage.

I feel pretty much the same. However, I always liked the Carter Family; especially so once I learned that Old man Carter, A.P., apparently didn't have a racist bone in his body. His early partner, and a big influence on the Carter's (especially Mother Maybelle's) music was a black man named Esley Riddle. And, that was at a time when it wasn't legal for a black man and a white man to shake hands in the south.

I've come to appreciate country western/rock with the help of Jerry Lee Lewis, June, and Johnny, Roy Orbison, etc. It's allowed me to see the very real and necessary connection between folk, country, and rock, and even jazz. It makes me feel more connected to those I feel very different from--and that's something, isn't it?.

Music's a great thing to bond over! It transcends generations, distance and differences.

I don't like country songs that much, but I love to watch the past. Many things that we see today came from those musics and shows from that time.

'No swallowing'  'Coming up for air'

What is she talking about anyway???

She's saying that she likes singing this song; but the only problem is that the song doesn't have any kind of pause for breath (hence the no swallerin' place). And she can do a lot of crazy things (like kiss, or talk with Cracker Jacks in her mouth) but the song's too hard for her to sing. It's just trying to be silly and ironic.

This here-hear is a SONG about the SONG itself
which She just sings and sings and sings and
She can not catch a breath between all the singin'
She Swallers First and Then sings about it.
