Opening Announcements from Hugh Cherry (Live)

Over there
Is it working?

Alright, gentlemen
My name is Hugh Cherry
I'm a radio newsman from Los Angeles
And uh, on behalf of John and the band
And the Statlers and Perkins and June
And everybody would like to
Tell you how much we appreciate being here
We appreciate you're providing us an audience

Now, I'm sure most of you realize that this is a recording session
It's the first time, this sort of thing has ever been done
Within the walls of a prison
We're grateful to the warden here for
Allowing it to be done at Folsom

Now, the important thing is that
You enjoy yourself
Here's why
Because you are a part of the album
And that, you are a very, very
Important part
And if you here something you like
React in kind

Uh, to warm you up here
We got a fella from back Nash
For a way we've known for a long time
One heck of a fine performer
Let's hear a big round of applause
For Carl Perkins
