Autograph Legit?

Picked this up for relatively cheap. Maybe should have done some digging first, but wondering if this might be the real deal. I looked at some other pictures and really think it could be.

Opinions on autograph. Legit or not!

Just thrifted a Johnny Cash 1983 world tour tshirt. Appears to be autographed. Not sure why someone would fake this on a 1980s tshirt and thought it likely it was signed quickly at a show? Anyone have any opinions. Regardless it was sold as authentic since it was thrifted and not really identified at all. But thought id see if anyone has strong opinions based on others they may have seen or own.

Eight-legged Johnny Cash (fan fiction)

Back in 2016 a new tarantula species Aphonopelma johnnycashi was discovered at Folsom prison.

I wrote some humorous lyrics in honor of this spider -- also paying homage to the Man in Black. I once sang the song in a student recital with a bluegrass ensemble.

The song is intended to be sung to the tune of “Wabash Cannonball” by A.P. Carter, in the style of Johnny Cash. The chorus is admittedly awkward to sing with all the Latin words 😄 It's important to pronounce 'johnnycashi' as 'Johnny Cash-ee'.

The NSFW flair is due to drug references.

Eight-legged Johnny Cash

I’m stuck in Folsom prison; it’s dark and I’m broke;
So I find myself a doobie, close my eyes and smoke.
Then I awake in horror; hit the floor with a crash;
It’s crawling on my face — the eight-legged Johnny Cash!

Chorus:
Genus Aphonopelma johnnycashi,
Family Theraphosidae … oh, Lord help me!
It’s worse than a fungus or any kind of rash.
Meet your new cellmate, the eight-legged Johnny Cash!

Arachnids are dandy, so all the people say!
Beautiful orb weavers; daddy long legs at play.
Recluse has a fiddle; black widow the hour glass;
But the meanest damn spider? Eight-legged Johnny Cash!

Walked up north from Mexico, one cold December day.
Crawled in Folsom prison and decided to stay.
Shook hands with the warden; made his home in a crack.
Now a smart ass arachnologist named him for the man in black.

There’s folks in California, living high and wholesome;
Laughing in a dispensary, not far from Folsom.
When I get out of prison, I’ll start my new stash
With the best strain of all time, eight-legged Johnny Cash!

ISO Greystone Chapel performance from The Johnny Cash Show

Howdy, folks!

One of my favorite videos on YouTube, a recording of Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins performing an uptempo version of Greystone Chapel on The Johnny Cash Show, has disappeared. I'm hoping that someone out there has a bootleg of this recording, because it is a damn fine performance.

Thanks in advance!
