Cash and Carter's



Here's a totally yucky song from the early 80s called "I Couldn't Say No".  It's by Carlene Carter and Robert Ellis Orall.  Carlene Carter is June Carter's daughter and this was a bit of a one hit wonder.

I remember Rosanne Cash, Johnny Cash's daughter, also had a hit around the same time-- perhaps a year or two beforehand.


It was called "Seven Year Ache".  I think I like Rosanne's song better than Carlene's.

It's interesting to note that Johnny Cash and my husband have a few things in common.  They were both from Arkansas.  My husband was actually born in Missouri, because there was no hospital in the Arkansas town where his parents lived at the time.  They were both military-- Cash was in the Air Force and my husband is Army.  They both married women from Texas the first time and women from Virginia the second time.  And they both had ties to San Antonio and Memphis.  My husband's mom lives in San Antonio and we're moving there soon.  His dad lives in Memphis.  Cash married his first wife in San Antonio; that was where she was from.  After they married, they lived in Memphis.  My husband lived there for awhile, too.

That's about all they have in common, though.  My husband can't carry a tune in a bucket... but he does have a spunky wife who puts on a show.
