Johnny Cash

Definitely Folsom Prison Blues as #1, but I could listen to a Boy Named Sue everyday and not get tired of hearing it. Even though he doesn't really sing the song, more like spoken word.

I find it hard to select a favorite. I would put one down and then another pops up in my head so I would change it. "I've been everywhere" is probably one of my favorites because it reminds me of myself in my much younger days. Story: I used to help out in an antique store in Kingsport and Johnny and June would come in often. June would shop and Johnny would sit on our bench. A rule was we would never tell anyone they were there so June could shop without being bothered. One day they came in and I had one of his records for sale in my wife's booth so got it and asked him to sign it for me. Another time they came in and June bought some quilts, etc. and asked if we could deliver it to his old home place In Hilton's VA. My wife and I loaded up my truck and took the items up there. June and Johnny were not there but we took the items into the house. Later on we were given a couple of rugs that were in the house. I used to think of the memories that these rugs had.

I just watched the entire performance - amazing. His ties with the Carter family and the venue were absolutely pure Cash. Thanks for the link!

He did a great job considering the circumstances. I have a lot of respect for him.
