Here's a photo I took of rock & roll legend Carl Perkins in his living room in Jackson, Tennessee in the '90s. I was driving back and forth between Nashville and Memphis a lot in those days and would always call him from the gas station phone booth. Each time he'd invite me over for lunch and to hear a new song he'd written. Hours later I'd leave with some of his wife Valda's fresh baked cookies sitting on the car seat beside me. I still miss hearing his "Hey cat daddy!" coming out of my phone answering machine speaker...Photo ©Jim Herrington
