"The world is going to xxxx in a handbaskket and
country..so called "country"..music is
leading the way.
Waylon, Willie, George, Loretta, Conway, Hank (all of them), et al (and, of
course, this is NOT a definitive list!)
are the last! Love 'em while we can."By

She kept telling the band to play again
which they wouldn't until she replied,
they were married March 1, 1968. H

been clean for some time when they
married.
They have
lived happily ever since.

faithful, to this day, with

His latest album, and yet
another biggie,"Unchained", has
skyrocketed in spite of the
radio stations blackballing him!
 Cash's Response To
Radio Stations!
"Unchained" is great!! If you
haven't heard it, you are not a true
fan! He is very sick with
Shy-Drager Syndrone, our hearts are
with him! He will always be the best!

JOHNNY CASH DAY
September 5, 1956, was quite a day on
the country music scene. The "Man in
Black," who was more recently quoted as
saying, "Country music used to represent horses, railroads, land, judgment day,
family, hard times, whiskey, courtship,
marriage, adultery, separatism, murder,
war, prison, rambling, damnation, home,
salvation, death, pride, humor, piety,
rebellion, patriotism, larceny,
determination, tragedy, rowdiness,
heartbreak, love, mother, and God"
(whew! and all true), made his big debut with a song about what a man will do for love: "I Walk the Line."
His spirited rendition reached #17 on
the pop music charts - and established
his star for sure. Now, he's become a
legend. His voice will welcome you to
