Fresh Air
with Terry Gross,
12:06-1 p.m.

                    Honky-tonk singer JOHNNY BUSH. He hails from Texas
and began his career
                    in the 1950s. Later he went on to such best- selling
singles as "Sound of a
                    Heartache," "You Ought to Hear Me Cry," "What a Way
to Live" and "You
                    Gave Me a Mountain." He wrote the song ""Whiskey
River" for his friend
                    Willie Nelson, and later had a hit with that too.
This singer with the melancholy
                    songs never became a household name, and in the late
70s a voice ailment
                    curtailed his career. Now after finally getting the
ailment properly diagnosed and
                    treated, he's back singing. His new album is "Talk
to My Heart." (Watermelon)
                    (THIS INTERVIEW CONTINUES INTO THE SECOND HALF OF
THE
                    SHOW).

                    The story behind the world of West Fifty Second
Street in New York City - for a

scholars say that there was

two or three cities combined.

                    the area that he took in 1948 about the social whirl
of West 52nd.
