Oh gosh....decades ago I went to the Civic Center in Baltimore, primarily to see a young man named Johnny Cash. The performers included Minnie Pearl, little Jimmy Dickens, The Carter Family, and anybody and everybody, including a young boy named Hank Williams Jr. Long story short...the stage went black except for a single spot, and from somewhere off stage there came a rhythmic clanging. Clang, clang, clang...and John stepped into the spot clanging two large metal rods together and sang John Henry. Wow! Freaking awesome.
