I remembered the goat testicle grafting doctor from the Hank Williams biography, although this book gave much more background information about not only him, but the X stations as well. By the way, is there anything you haven't read? Linda: Thanks and no problemo. I finished a western book the other night to get a little variety in the string of biographies I've been reading, but I got started on the Johnny Cash autobiography last night. Even after only a few pages, I think it's gonna be pretty good. Juli: I found the account of their time on the border radio fascinating as well.

Zwonitzer does an amazing job of humanizing these music legends; he also did some commentary on the PBS "American Masters" episode on the Carters, which is a pretty decent documentary if you've got an hour to kill.
