A neat photo I recently found, showing Luther Perkins, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash backstage, sometime in the late 50s / early 60s :

And this one, showing Johnny and Luther, comes from the mid 60s. The man on bottom left is hard to identify, but it could be Faron Young :

Lovely shot. This is from a shared tour when they were both on Columbia, probably in San Antonio on Wednesday, May 20, 1959.

According to the site where it was originally posted:

Thanks Doc! What a great collection of photos. And a beautifully written tribute, too.

I don't remember where I got it from, but it wasn't dated at all. It's good to know it. I will edit the topic title.

By the way, photo number 4 shows him fishing with Johnny Horton. There are several photos from the same day :
