Johnny Cash Lives in Duluth MN





Now that I’m out there singing his songs, this quote has new meaning to me. Like Cash I have written songs (not as many as he for sure). I know that Cash sang Dylan and Kristofferson’s songs, but most people thought they were Johnny’s.


I really get in to Cash’s life and songs so when I sing, and speak to the people in the audience, it’s as though I were him. So now I too, must say: “I wrote this and he doesn’t know it!"

Welcome to J Cash Lives.


Welcome to J Cash Lives.

Some people say that I can sound like Johnny Cash, but that really is not my intent. My focus is to do my part in keeping his music alive.

Not that he needs any help from me as he is and always will be an unforgettable icon in the music industry.

I present concerts all around the country singing his music with just my voice and a guitar; just like he did mostly. As a songwriter myself, I share the same conduit to inspiration and the desire to share what is created with others.

Here, you’ll read my thoughts as they pertain to Johnny and me. I’ve always been intrigued by quotes about success and I’ve had a picture of Johnny, which shares a space with other geniuses on my wall. It contains a quote (that I altered only slightly so as to make it seem as if he was speaking to me directly). The quote is: “Terry, remember you build on failure. You use is as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space”.

I’ve just texted this to my kids. I hope you’ll find this quote useful in your life today and tomorrow. I hope you’ll return!
