Johnny & June, c. 1961. / At least I think so, the photo is from “Among my Keldiments.” June’s biography, it didn’t have a caption saying the year or who photographed it, but this reminded me of a story she shared from when they started touring together, in 1961:

“Once we were in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and we were all in the car waiting for John. He just wouldn’t come out of his room. He wouldn’t get out of bed, and we were going to miss the show in El Paso. He must have had a bad night, and bed was the only sensible place to be, but I was raised with the instinct that the show must go on no matter what.

I looked at Marshall, Fluke, and Luther gritted my teeth, and went back to the motel, flung open his door, and hollered at the top of my lungs, “Lay there, star!” He came out of that bed madder than I’d ever seen anyone. I ran for dear life, knowing I’d be fired. But Johnny was out of bed and grabbing his pants. I was embarrassed, scared, and fired, but we were on our way to the airport to catch the flight to El Paso.

I sat there knowing I’d never get to work with the group again–a girl just doesn’t holler things like that at her boss–and trying to figure out how I’d get new booking dates for the months ahead. Later at the airport, when I had my head in my coffee cup, Johnny handed me an Indian peace pipe he had gotten in the souvenir store, and we made El Paso on time.”
