Johnny Cash Listening to a battery-run radio, Cash heard local country shows from Memphis, the Carter Family on border radio, and the newest hits of singers such as Hank Snow. He sang on radio station KLCN in Blytheville, Arkansas, while in high school, and after working briefly in Pontiac, Michigan, enlisted in the air force and served in Germany for four years, during which time he wrote the future Sun Records classics “Folsom Prison Blues” and “Hey, Porter!” Cash returned home in 1954, settled in Memphis, married, and became an appliance salesman. Wanting to build a career in music, he got together with Luther Perkins (electric guitar) and Marshall Grant (upright bass) to perform gospel songs on a local radio station. http://www.countrymusichalloffame.com/site/inductees.aspx?cid=107 Johnny Cash: Biography : Rolling Stone During high school, he performed frequently on radio station KLCN in Blytheville, Arkansas. http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/johnnycash/biography Sep 09 07, 9:33 PM
