A fabulous article. Thanks for the link, Mike.
And isn't it interesting that it has taken the White Stripes to revive the careers of two of the biggest names in country music... |

Mike,
Thanks for the post, a great read.
Porter has always been one of my all time favorites.
When you think about country music, you can always depend on Porter to deliver! 
Larry

Porter usually gets down here in January for fishing (Lake Panasoffkee, Fl). The guy that owns the place where I pick in Lake Panasoffkee, and where we hold our Florida Steel Guitar club jams, has taken Porter out fishing many times.
I'll be in Alton, MO next month and will be going through West Plains on the way to Alton from Kansas City. If I remember right there is a street in West Plains that's named for Porter. |
