Guitarist, radio show host, author, and Jackson, TN native Ron Haney joins Adam Pope for an interview focused on the life of Johnny Cash's longtime drummer- WS "Fluke" Holland.  Ron deep dives on the story of how WS ended up as drummer on Carl Perkins first session at Sun Studio in Memphis, how WS became drummer for the Tennessee Three who backed Johnny Cash, the first drummer to play a full kit on the Opry, and more. Ron fondly recalls the good times and what it was like to travel the world and be friends with "Fluke." One of my favorite stories is when WS decided to raise money to purchase a mandolin. 

In honour of her brand new CD, Prairie Love Letter, we feature Brennen Leigh in our artist feature segment. We also have a sad memorial feature in the pre-show to the late WS "Fluke" Holland. We have lots of birthdays to celebrate and some great new music. Stay safe!

WS "Fluke" Holland is Johnny Cash's one and only drummer. After playing drums several years with Carl Perkins, Fluke joined Cash's band, which he never left until Cash stopped touring in the late 1990s. As one of the original members of the Tennessee Three, Fluke talks with Colin about the early days at Sun, discovering Bob Wootton, and what he's going to do on his 100th birthday.
