Thread: Johnny Cash/The Legend of the Man in Black

Johnny Cash is a LEGEND!


Mick

I'm fortunate to have a 16 year old who dislikes rap, but likes Lady Ga Ga,Selena Gomez, Celine Dion, Adele, Elvis & Johnny Cash, which he has most all of his songs on his Ipod.

This is his favorite Johnny cash song;

I love his music, and my favourite would have to be one of his better known classics I walk the line.

Here's one of my favorites ...........

Way back in 1970 I met a very beautiful young woman whose name was Jane Davis. She was my first true love! As I orignally posted that I'd been listening to Johnny Cash since I was young (about 14 years old) anyway I introduced her to this song. We used to walk, holding hands and singing this song.

Many years later I ran into her and it was like being together again. She told me that she had recently dated a man and he started to sing this song to her. She stopped him and informed him that only she and I could sing that song 'properly'!

Two years ago she and her current husband were in my checkout line and she was very 'different' very quiet. I hadn't seen them for a year or two. I chatted with her husband and when the transaction was finished and I went to hand him the receipt, he leaned over and quietly said; 'Things have changed since we saw you last, She has Dementia. I was crushed! She had turned 58 barely two weeks before on the 14th of January. Yes after all those years I still remember her birthday! She was and will always be very special to me!

I hope all will enjoy this! It is very special to me!
