I Walked the Line My Life with Johnny
Highlights

Elvis was leading the pack of Sun artists, I guess you could say. He was the first to get his career going and was having the biggest success. Johnny followed closely behind him. And Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Roy Orbison came within a short time too. Johnny and I knew all of them well because they all worked together often. We came to know Carl Perkins and Elvis the best. Johnny and I especially liked Elvis. He was an all-around great guy and became a very close friend.

Dearest Vivian,
I don't know what to say honey, but I wanted to write anyway. The last letter I had from you was two weeks ago tomorrow. You said you'd write the next day, but I guess you changed your mind.
Vivian, will you please write me just one letter?
Don't you think I have a right to know why you stopped after all you mean to me?
I know I do, and I can't see why you'd do this way unless you hate me.
Anything else I said would just make it worse I guess, but the least you could do is keep your end of the bargain, and give me the reasons why you stopped.
Please answer soon.
I'm tired of waiting and wondering.
If I don't get an answer to this letter, I'll not bother you anymore Vivian.
All my love,
Johnny
