What kind of steer is he wrestling  Is it of the animal kind or the man kind

Hey -- my cousin taught school in Nashville where John Carter Cash went and his son and John Carter made a video. He also went to NY with them to some celebrations about the Statue of Liberty.

I can't get that video -- or any video -- to work yesterday or today. Don't know if it's my computer or if it's YouTube.

I went to a ballgame in Dyess, AR, a few years ago and Johnny was on the composite graduation picture! I think he was born in ARkansas. 

I miss him and June being around.

I seem to be hitting Arkansas with you a lot lately after Black Oak Arkansas  I didn't know that about Johnny and June. I miss them being around too. You know their house in Tennessee where they lived for many, many years burnt down? That was so sad.

[Shasta542]

That's okay!  I love Arkansas.

Yes. Johnny was born in AR.

Johnny Cash was born J. R. Cash in Kingsland, Arkansas, to Ray and Carrie Cash, and raised in Dyess, Arkansas.


There is a sad story about his older brother dying in this article too. It was mentioned in the movie Walk the Line.

Dyess is about 40 miles from where I live.

June was born in Virginia.

Jack, I think I remember hearing about that house burning. Was it empty at the time, I wonder?

Here is an article about the house. It says BeeGee Barry Gibb was renovating it. That is sad. Looks like a great house. It also looks like it's out in the woods -- probably far away from a fire station.

Thanks for posting the article. I know when I saw it on the news it seemed so strange. It truly was almost as if the house, so full of history, could never be anyone's but Johnny and June's. The video for the song "Hurt" was filmed there which has to be one of the most haunting songs and videos I have ever heard or seen. It was apparent that Johnny would not be around much longer and you can see in June's eyes that she feels the same. But then in the end she actually died first, then him, and then not too long after the house they had lived in so long burned to the ground.
