And I like(d) both, i.e., the man and his music. Have you ever listened to "Man in Black," which he recorded on a college campus in 2009 (I believe)? The lyrics are a bit of a departure from J.C's usual stuff, and I think you'd enjoy it. Best wishes always, Gershon

He was quite the entertainer.

Oh I grew up with all sorts of music from classical to country, rock to jazz and blues; you name it. Saturday nights with Johnny Cash and others were our, "country nights" and Johnny certainly came a long way in life. One of the greatest artists; I know he appreciates the tribute.

Yes. He was really something... And I didn't even get to his wonderful wife, June Carter Cash. Do you remember her? She was a pistol! And what a voice. … Those were the days... Thank you for your support, M.L! :) gw
