My Father and the Man in Black Quote
Johnny Cash: In late '61 we played the Big D in Dallas, Texas and my manager, Saul Holiff, said, We need a girl singer on the show tonight. They want more than just you and your band. And I said, Well, get one. He said, What do you think about June Carter? And I said, I've always been a fan of hers. And I had, you know. I loved her work. I said, Get her if you can. So we booked June Carter on the Big D in Dallas and then that night my manager asked if she would work the next tour with us. So she did.

June Carter: Hi Saul, I signed the contract and returned it. As we discussed on the phone, this is our tour price, and I was expectin' as many as 4 days. At this rate, we will just about make expenses. Let's hope the other dates come through. When I see you, we will discuss the management deal. Regards to John, Fluke, Marshall and Luther. I love you all. June. [Original Source: Letter to Saul Holiff, January 3, 1962]
