:06:00
Come see the girl-boy!
:06:02
It was just more rural back then.
:06:04
That's what people did.
You could see guys in blackface:
:06:08
George Washington in blackface...
:06:11
or Napoleon wearing blackface.
:06:14
Like, weird Shakespearean things.
:06:16
Stuff that didn't really make any sense
at the time.
:06:19
And people had other jobs
in the carny team.
:06:22
I saw somebody putting makeup on...
:06:23
getting back from running
the Ferris wheel once.
:06:26
And I thought that was pretty interesting.
:06:27
Guy's got, you know... He does two things,
you know, or something like that.
:06:31
I've got a song here that I'd like to do
that's been awful kind to me and the boys.
:06:36
It's a tune called:
:06:37
Cold Cold Heart.
:07:23
We'd have to listen late at night
for other stations to come in...
:07:26
from other parts of the country,
places that were far away.
:07:29
Fifty-thousand watt stations
coming out through the atmosphere.
:07:36
Johnnie Ray:
:07:38
He had some kind of strange incantation
in his voice...
:07:41
like he'd been voodooed...
:07:43
and he cried, kind of, when he sang.
:07:57
It's Grand Ole Opry time.
:07:59
Another big folk music show,
starring Webb Pierce.
