A compilation of the two Hayride dates from 1956 May 12th 1956 – So Doggone Lonesome June 23rd 1956 – I Walk the Line

This is Johnny Cash’s VERY FIRST Grand Ole Opry appearance from July of 1956. As many “reliable” sources have stated, he performed several songs such as “Get Rythym”, “So Doggone Lonesome”, “I Walk The Line” and others; I’m sorry to say that he DID NOT perform the songs “So Doggone Lonesome” and “Get Rythym” on his first appearance. Songs on this set: • Folsom Prison Blues • I Walk The Line

This particular appearance is from one of the first TV appearances he made at the Opry. This was originally thought to be 1955 however the Esquire that Luther was using was never received until 1956. It was originally thought that the Jackie Gleason Show was his first television appearance but this may very well be it.

October 6th 1956 Johnny nade several appearances after his second appearance in August of that same year. Setlist: • Walk The Line • So Doggone Lonesome

This is one of Johnny’s first appearance on the radio show, Country Style USA. This was taped om November 12th 1956. A very unique quality of sound this station had.
