Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. JANUARY 1 1958 Johnny Cash plays the first of many concerts at San Quentin State Prison, California. It had become traditional for the prison to stage a New Years Day musicians union extravaganza for the 4,000 inmates, and it just so happened that Cash was touring the west coast of the US when he and his band were asked at short notice to appear on a bill also featuring dancers and a 17-piece jazz ensemble. He accepted, although his bass guitarist Marshall Grant is forbidden from bringing in a toy pistol (a standard prop in their stage act). In the captive audience is 20-year-old Merle Haggard, serving a 15-year sentence for petty crimes. He had the right attitude, Haggard later recalled. He chewed gum, looked arrogant and flipped the bird to the guards.
