J Cash on a Moose Hunt and his To Do List: Kiss June

Wow, now this is an awesome (and not the same old stuff) article about Johnny:

“These incredible images of Johnny Cash hunting offer a look at a future music legend before he hit the big time. These photos were taken before his famous show at Folsom Prison, before he married June Carter, and before he struggled with drug use. He seems to be in his element in these photos. As well all know, time in the outdoors is extremely rewarding and relaxing. It is easy to see that Johnny felt the same way.”

There is also a picture of Johnny that I bet you've never seen before; very cool. Borrowing from the article, it was before Folsom Prison, before June, and before drugs. You've got to see this picture; again I say "wow!" See it and read more here.

Johnny Cash had tons of notes and scribbles everywhere; a sign of a creative person for sure! This article states:

Singer-songwriter Johnny Cash proposed to the love of his life, fellow country star June Carter, on stage in 1968, 13 years after first meeting her.

And, it shows a "page" from Johnny's "honey do" list, (just part is shown here):

Johnny Cash as "hot" as ever!

"The man in black is back" so says the Chatham Daily News
Johnny Cash, the iconic bass-baritone country signer who died more than 10 years ago in a Nashville hospital, is as hot as ever and so too is the city he loved.


And what may be more interesting to some is the appeal of the country music city to a younger set.

DYESS HOME OF J CASH HAS NEW BIRTH

J Cash LIves via Young Thai band that plays Johnny Cash classics.





I was at a friend's house; he's from Thailand. So, he like Thai music and I like Johnny Cash music. I found this video and we were both happy! Check it out. Great to see young people diggin' the Man in Black. Also, the second lead sounds a bit more like Brian Setzer's stuff, but all in all, real fun. Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments below!

Wok (?) the LIne? Staten Island Rockin'?

Yeah, you heard right. Wok the Line. Wish I had sound or a video.



This article makes me remember an episode from the Johnny Cash show (I tried to find info about it but could not find any; if any reader can help, let me know). Anyway there was a man who was from Japan and was a Johnny Cash impersonator (of sorts) who sang Johnny Cash songs in Japan.

I think he was singing Folsom Prison or I Walk the Line and toward the end of the song he acted as if his guitar was not working. Quickly someone off camera came running up and checked all of the connections and then the guy turned the guitar over and said, "Oh here's the problem; Made in America!".

It was funny at the time because things "Made in Japan" had a bad reputation. Things have surely made a turn around today with Japan's innovation and workmanship have surpassed ours in many ways, but I digress.

Here's the article that had Staten Island Chinese Restaurant rocking.

Johnny Cash's "coolest" songs per Rolling Stone


I've mentioned it before in this blog when the car was for sale to the owners of Pawn Stars; it was a fun show episode but they didn't buy it because the owner wanted too much for it. It's now up for grabs again...

In the period he hosted his own TV music variety show on ABC, the Television Network ordered and purchased the 1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow long wheelbase Saloon in question they gifted Cash with.

Angola has a Man in Black Concert over the Weekend; good attendance.

Man in Black Tribute Act at Angola per The Sun  (online) Newspaper:

ANGOLA — After a day of cloudy skies and forecasts of rain and thunderstorms in the area, the Angola Summer Lawn Chair Concert Series moved from its regular location in the village’s Centennial Park to the back-up rain location of the New Angola Theater on Aug. 20 for a concert by the Johnny Cash tribute act, the Man in Black.


Craig Wilkins and the Less Than New Yorkers


I don't know where Angola is located, you can do a Google search if interested; I looked at the CONTACT US area of the website and there was no mailing or physical address shown. 

It sounds like it was a good time for Johnny Cash fans and I'm thinking that being inside was more "realistic" environment for such a concert instead of being outdoors. 

The article continues with giving more information about the artist and the band: 

Taking the stage at 7 p.m. after a brief introduction by Deputy Mayor Bill Houston, Craig Wilkins, the titular “Man in Black” in the tribute act, took the stage with his backing band, the Less Than New Yorkers.
