A
few of your attendees had questions and here are the answers:
First #1: "I Walk The Line" was his first country music #1
hit, according to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum
Biggest Hit: Wrote by his wife June Carter Cash and sang by Johnny Cash, “Ring of Fire” was a single from
his 1963 album Ring of Fire: The Best of
Johnny Cash. It was the biggest hit of Cash's career, staying at number one for
seven weeks and has sold over 1.2 million digital downloads in the modern era.
Trivia: Why “J” Cash Lives? “Johnny” was never Johnny’s name. His name was
simply JR which meant, well, “JR”. It was JR on his high school diploma and he took
the name John when he went into the Air Force because they required a first
name. Later, Johnny Cash became his stage name!
And please again, extend
my sincerest thanks to Ike (MC) and Brenda. Your parents who were fabulous
hosts.
Ter Scott!

I had a great time performing for a private party in Solon Springs WI last night. It was a combined "family reunion" and "Johnny Cash Bash" with many people wearing Johnny Cash shirts and apparel; a real fun time. When I got there to set up they already had Johnny's hits being played and later had karaoke for everyone. Someone even sang "A Boy Named Sue"!

Why "J Cash" Lives
I know that I could get a better SEO ranking if I used "Johnny Cash" instead of J Cash in the title above (and even in promotion), but I have my reasons and I'll just live with it. I have a special reason for using the name "J Cash" which I'll share later.
Just had some business cards made. Here is both front and back.

And now, for a piece of trivia that you may not know about Johnny and why I use the name, J Cash.
Johnny was never Cash's real name and that's why when I perform, I am: J Cash and J Cash Lives! The following is per https://www.biography.com/news/johnny-cash-10-interesting-facts
Upon first meeting Johnny Cash for the first time, Sam Phillips, the producer of his first records, thought that Johnny had made up his last name. It sounded like “Johnny Dollar” or “Johnny Guitar.” In fact, the family name of Cash can be traced back almost a thousand years to Scotland, to the ancient kingdom of Fife. It was the “Johnny” that was an invention.
The story goes that Johnny’s parents were indecisive about what their fourth child’s name should be. His mother’s maiden name was Rivers, and she stumped for that; his father’s name was Ray, and he held out for that. “J.R.” was a shortcut to avoid conflict. It was not uncommon for Southern kids to have names made of initials in the days of the Depression, and Johnny Cash was called J.R. all through his childhood (except to his father, who nicknamed him “Shoo-Doo”). He was still J.R. even after he graduated high school; “J.R.” is the name on his diploma.
It wasn’t until Johnny joined the Air Force in 1950 that he had to assign himself a name. The recruiter would not accept a candidate with a name comprised of initials, so J.R. become “John R. Cash.”
LEARN WORDS TO: I’VE BEEN EVERYWHERE
...and a bit of the history behind the song:
"I've Been Everywhere" is a song which was
written by Australian country singer Geoff Mack in 1959, and made popular by Lucky Starr in 1962.
The
song as originally written listed Australian towns. It was later adapted by Canadian Hank Snow for North American (predominantly United States) toponyms,
by Australian singer Rolf Harris with English and Scottish toponyms (1963),[1] and by John Hore (later
known as John Grenell) with New Zealand toponyms (1966).
In
1962, the song was a number-one US country hit for Hank Snow.[2] The song was also recorded by Lynn Anderson (USA 1970), Asleep at the Wheel (USA 1973), Johnny Cash (USA 1996). READ MORE.
I’m adding this song to my J Cash Tribute repertoire and
created this “worksheet” to help me learn the words. I thought my readers may
have fun with this as well. Go ahead and print this and use it at parties or
just to see how well you know the song!
First, here is the "history" of the song:
I was totin' my pack along the dusty
Winnemucca road,
When along came a semi with a high an' canvas-covered load.
"If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride."
And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand.
And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"
[Chorus:]
I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere, man.
Crossed the desert's bare, man.
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been everywhere.
