Johnny Cash - Girl in Saskatoon Johnny Cash always seemed to resonate with the common man. He famously performed at San Quentin prison in 1969, but there's also documented proof that he loved spending time fishing in northern Saskatchewan. His larger-than-life persona (and voice) made him stand out, while his storytelling and songwriting made him feel like one of us. On the posthumous 2006 release of Bootleg Vol. 1: Personal File, Cash tells a tale about the creation of his song Girl in Saskatoon. Written with Johnny Horton while the two were driving from Saskatoon to Regina on icy winter roads, Cash would officially record and release it after Horton's passing. A sunny love story, with a man longing for his girl in the bridge city, would sadly take a dark turn after he performed this song in Saskatoon in 1961. Cash chose to bring Alexandra Wiwcharuk up on stage so he could sing the song to her. Not long after, her murdered body was found on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River. It's been said that after hearing the news, Cash never performed the song again.
