Folk music always tells a story with words and it's instruments, like the banjo.
The music is very simple in nature starting with people and their environment.
The acoustic guitar is a key part to this music as well.

Johnny Cash entered life on February 26, 1932, in Kingsland, Arkansas,
one of seven children born to Ray and Carrie Cash.

Remembering Johnny Cash

September 12, 2003 - Johnny Cash, a towering figure in American music spanning country, rock and folk and known worldwide as "The Man in Black," has died, according to hospital officials in Nashville, Tenn. He was 71. "Johnny died due to complications from diabetes, which resulted in respiratory failure," said Cash's manager, Lou Robin, in a press release issued by Baptist Hospital in Nashville.
          The release said Cash died at the hospital at 1 a.m. EDT. He was released from Baptist on Wednesday where he had spent two weeks being treated for an unspecified stomach ailment.
          Cash had battled a disease of the nervous system, autonomic neuropathy, and pneumonia in recent years and was once diagnosed with a disease called Shy-Drager's syndrome, a diagnosis that was later deemed to be erroneous.
          Dozens of hit records like "Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk the Line," and "Sunday Morning Coming Down" defined Cash's persona: a haunted, dignified, resilient spokesman for the working man and downtrodden.
          Cash's deeply lined face fit well with his unsteady voice, which was limited in range but used to great effect to sing about prisoners, heartaches, and tales of everyday life. He wrote much of his own material, and was among the first to record the songs of Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson.
          Cash said in his 1997 autobiography "Cash" that he tried to speak for "voices that were ignored or even suppressed in the entertainment media, not to mention the political and educational establishments."
          Cash's career spanned generations, with each finding something of value in his simple records, many of which used his trademark "boom-chicka-boom" rhythm.
          Cash was a peer of Elvis Presley when rock 'n' roll was born in Memphis in the 1950s, and he scored hits like "Cry! Cry! Cry!" during that era. He had a longtime friendship and recorded with Dylan, who has cited Cash as a major influence.
          He won 11 Grammys - most recently in 2003, when "Give My Love To Rose" earned him honors as best male country vocal performance — and numerous Country Music Association awards. He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980 and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.
          His second wife, June Carter Cash, and daughter Roseanne Cash also were successful singers. June Carter Cash, who co-wrote Cash's hit "Ring of Fire" and partnered with her husband in hits such as "Jackson," died in May 2003.
          The late 1960s and '70s were Cash's peak commercial years, and he was host of his own ABC variety show from 1969-71. In later years, he was part of the Highwayman supergroup with Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kristofferson.
          In the 1990s, he found a new artistic life recording with rap and hard rock producer Rick Rubin on the label American Recordings. And he was back on the charts in with the 2002 album "American IV: the Man Comes Around."
          He also wrote books including two autobiographies, and acted in films and television shows. In his 1971 hit "Man in Black," Cash said his black clothing symbolized the downtrodden people in the world. Cash had been "The Man in Black" since he joined the Grand Ole Opry at age 25.
          John R. Cash was born Feb. 26, 1932, in Kingsland, Ark., one of seven children. When he was 12, his 14-year-old brother and hero, Jack, died after an accident while sawing oak trees into fence posts. The tragedy had a lasting impact on Cash, and he later pointed to it as a possible reason his music was frequently melancholy.
          He worked as a custodian and enlisted in the Air Force, learning guitar while stationed in Germany, before launching his music career after his 1954 discharge.
          Cash launched his career in Memphis, performing on radio station KWEM. He auditioned with Sun Records, ultimately recording the single "Hey Porter," which became a hit. "Folsom Prison Blues," went to No. 4 on the country charts in 1956, and featured Cash's most famous couplet: "I shot a man in Reno/ just to watch him die."
          Cash recorded theme albums celebrating the railroads and the Old West, and decrying the mistreatment of American Indians. Two of his most popular albums were recorded live at prisons. Along the way he notched 14 No. 1 country music hits.
          Because of Cash's frequent performances in prisons and his rowdy lifestyle early in his career, many people wrongly thought he had served prison time. He never did, though he battled addictions to pills on and off throughout his life. He blamed fame for his vulnerability to drug addiction.
          He credited June Carter Cash, whom he married in 1968, with helping him stay off drugs, though he had several relapses over the years and was treated at the Betty Ford Center in California in 1984.
          June Carter Cash was the daughter of country music great Mother Maybelle Carter, and the mother of singer Carlene Carter. Together, the couple had one child, John Carter Cash. He is a musician and producer.
          Singer Rosanne Cash is Johnny Cash's daughter from his first marriage, to Vivian Liberto. Their other three children were Kathleen, Cindy and Tara. They divorced in 1966.
          In March 1998, Cash made headlines when his California-based record company, American Recordings, took out an advertisement in the music trade magazine Billboard. The full-page ad celebrated Cash's 1998 Grammy award for best country album for "Unchained." The ad showed an enraged-looking Cash in his younger years making an obscene gesture to sarcastically illustrate his thanks to country radio stations and "the country music establishment in Nashville," which he felt had unfairly cast him aside.
          Cash once credited his mother, Carrie Rivers Cash, with encouraging him to pursue a singing career. Cash lived in Hendersonville, Tenn., just outside of Nashville. He also had a home in Jamaica.

The following statement was issued today (Sept. 12, 2003) by manager of Johnny Cash, Lou Robin:
          "In honor of the Cash families privacy during these times, the decision has been made to hold private - both the visitation and the funeral services. They wish to thank everyone for their prayers at this difficult time."

The following statement was issued today by the family of Johnny Cash:
          "The family of Johnny Cash, in this sad hour, is greatly comforted by the outpouring of love and respect for his remarkable life. We also take solace in the knowledge that he is again reunited with his dearest companion, June. Our lives, and indeed the entire planet, will forever feel the emptiness of his loss, but his music and the greatness of his spirit will endure."

Johnny Cash Laid to Rest
Johnny Cash was laid to rest Monday, September 15, 2003 following a two-hour funeral service that drew mourners from far and wide. More than a thousand people filled the church in Hendersonville, the town north of Nashville that Cash called home.
          Those in the pews at the church included Travis Tritt, Hank Williams Junior, John Mellencamp, George Jones, Kid Rock, Ronnie Dunn, Vince Gill, Barbara Mandrell, Dwight Yoakam, Ricky Skaggs and Sharon White, members of Trick Pony, the Oak Ridge Boys, the Statler Brothers and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Randy and Earl Scruggs, Eddy Raven, actress Jane Seymour and husband James Keach, and actor Joaquin Phoenix -- who's set to portray Cash in an upcoming movie. Flowers from many, including Bob Dylan and actor Robert Duvall, adorned the front of the church, where Cash lay in an open casket.
          Longtime friend Kris Kristofferson opened the service with remarks and a song, describing Cash as "a holy terror -- Abraham Lincoln with a wild side" and as a man "who represented the best of America." A video-montage of moments from Cash's career was followed by music from Emmylou Harris and Sheryl Crow -- Emmylou sang lead on "The Old Rugged Cross," then Sheryl took lead on Bob Dylan's "Every Grain of Sand."
          Reverend Franklin Graham, son of Cash friend Billy Graham, spoke...as did former senator, vice president and Tennessee native Al Gore, longtime manger Lou Robin, former producer Jack Clement (who read a poem written in 1991 called "My Friend the Famous Person"), one-time son-in-law Rodney Crowell, and Michelle Rollins -- a family friend who read a letter from the Prime Minister of Jamaica (where Cash and wife June had a home).
          Larry Gatlin ended the service by introducing members of the Carter-Cash family, including the legend's brother, sisters and daughter Rosanne Cash, who choked up as she noted, "We mourn the loss of two connected beings, Johnny Cash and Daddy," adding, "I can almost live in a world without Johnny Cash because he will always be with us...[but] I cannot begin to imagine a world without Daddy." Gatlin led the family (with former son-in-law Marty Stuart and a couple of others on acoustic guitar) in singing a song called "Angel Band" to end the funeral.


The echoes of his tunes will reverberate forever -
Don Mathis - San Antonio, Texas - DMathis@trinity.edu
         A great American is gone. The Man in Black www.toptown.com/hp/66/maninblack.htm will sing no more songs. But the echoes of his tunes will reverberate forever. Here's to Johnny Cash www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/.
         In the 1960s, I was climbing the monkey bars and a song came on the radio from across the playground. For some reason, I thought of the men fighting in Vietnam when I first heard "Ring of Fire" www.lyricsondemand.com/.
         Both my parents were from Arkansas. Johnny Cash grew up an hour down the road from my father's home town. Both had stories from the pines of southern Arkansas. Both had many stories about trains (see www.sciencefiction-thriller.co.uk/).
         Sun Records in Memphis knew talent. In the 1950s, they recorded songs by Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Roy Orbison, and many others www.wguides.com/city/62/150_68229.cfm. Only a few of those greats live on.
         In the early seventies, my dad found humor in the tune, "One Piece at a Time" www.toptown.com/hp/66/onepiece.htm a song about an employee at an auto assembly plant. I shared his amusement.
         I gained a whole new respect for Johnny Cash when my cousin played the "Live at San Quentin Prison" album. www.mysale.ca/sales/13899.html. Johnny Cash's compassion for the poor, the sick, the persecuted, has a message for everyone.
         Years later, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash sang "Girl of the North Country," www.bobdylan.com/songs/girlnorth.html and my appreciation for both men increased.
         Thirty years later, my son and I listened to "Rusty Cage" www.letssingit.com/, and another generation of fans of Johnny Cash was born.
         Many were hit hard the day Elvis Presley died. Before that it was Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. Or Janis, Jimi, and Morrison. "Dock of the Bay," released right after Otis Redding's final journey, epitomized the longing, the sorrow of his death. For some, the death of John Lennon was the day the music died. Today, I listen to half a century of music with a moral, with a message, and I mourn Johnny Cash.

He was a great among greats in Country Music.	Richard Astley-Clemas Blackpool England alicespiral@yahoo.co.uk Probably the most useful thing to a fan of 50s country music is to have one of its biggest stars as a penfriend. And Ginny Wright who actually retired from the music business the year Cash cut his first single is more than a penfriend - she became my best friend and I stayed with her a couple of times in Georgia. Which is when I put up her website on Yahoo. Ginny has specialist knowledge of the country music scene of the first 50s and 60s. She made sporadic comebacks to cut new singles and after her hits on the Fabor label she recorded for Chart and a number of vanity labels with an album issued in the 80s on Jack Gale's Playback label Ginny made her name at the Louisiana Hayride and was there the night Elvis made his debut in October 1954 when his 2nd single was out.

Tina Waterford Ontario Canada Gospel_theword@hotmail.com My dad introduced me to the world of Johnny Cash. I grew up listening to all kinds of music and Johnny Cash was one singer that touched my heart and in a way encouraged me to express my love for music through writing songs! I am 16 and am quickly learning that what made history stayed there. If only there were more leaders in the music world like Johnny Cash. He is an all time favourite because he was a true compassionate simple man. Everytime I feel like giving up with my singing I picture Johnny singing in the folsom prison. I watched the movie walk the line ... by the way was fabulous! Very inspirational in my life and I treasure that feeling for the rest of my living dayz! I have always wished that I could experience the DAYZ (I mean ...) live in the time period that Johnny and all the legends like Elvis Presly, June Carter and the Beatles (just a few examples) were making there all time hits. A true song of Johnny Cash is and always will be - Long black Veil. When I play Johnny's records I feel like Im there with him and June Carter. After all dreaming is what I do best. There would be no room on this page to express my grattitude and love towords Johnny Cash and his music as much as i would like to. Even after his death he still lives on, and fans all around the world know ... Johnny was true to him self and thought about the lonley - I guess you could say he was a selfless man! I am just a confused teenager trying to find a way to be known- to be an inspiration in this world, just like Johnny Cash. Its amazing how history can proclaim its self just like the music of legends! True music never dies - I know that in my heart.

Lawrence E. Henry junction city ky, 40440 Bradenton FL. (Ex Indianapolis, IN) lehenry130@msn.com With John passed on, life will never be the same. I never met him, but i loved him like a brother. I have traveled some of the same paths to addiction and recovery by the Grace of God. Few have touched my soul as John Cash did. Love? He sang about it. Pain of the soul? He sang about it. Despair of life? He sang about it. Love of our God? He sang about it. "The Man In Black." The common man's country singer. The folksey of the folk singers. Some day i will give John a big hug and thank you when we meet at Jesus's Throne. Then we'ss sing His praises together, in Heaven's Chior bass section.

Manskit Bergen, Norway torbens91@hotmail.com Hello ... I am a 14 year old boy from Norway and I love both Johnny Cash and Elvis. It is not true that young people talk about Elvis. He was the first one to make popular music, and if it werent for him, none of the artists would have made it. Not even Johnny. And don't blame Elvis for the drug-related problems of J.C. It wasnt a fact that those drugs were dangerous. Doctors even made out prescriptions on it! But anyway. Both of them had an enormous influence on the youth back then, and their rythm and tones are still to hear in modern music. God Bless Johnny and Elvis. R.I.P

hattie davis bradley, california, united states corpsebride_stars_goodcharlotte@yahoo.com i only heard some of J.R. cashes music from my grandpa and never really struck me that he was famous till the movie walk the line came out. then i was awed i watch it almost every day. it is a sad romantic movie i love it im only 12 years old and love pop punk rock music but when i heard johnny cash's music i had a feeling i can't explain, it got me through stuff when i was horribley horribley sad. johnny cash is my idol. R.I.P johnny and have a time of your life in the after life. your music truely saves people!!	masa naukkarinen espoo finland matti.naukkarinen@kolumbus.fi no words to say ... we'll miss You Johnny. R.I.P.	Dusty Reno, NV dustyb75@hotmail.com I appreciate the fact that this man did what so many musicians just can't afford to do these days. When they shunned him, he gave the middle finger to music row. Through his music he taught us that it was ok to be wrong every now and then and that nobody is perfect. I regret never being able to see him perform live. His music inspired myself and a co-worker to start a rockabilly/country style band and the first song we we've been working on is cocaine blues. Such a simple song, and yet so damn fun to play. RIP to the MIB(man in black). A man worthy of the title...LEGEND. We love you and miss you.

My father listened to Johnny and I could not help but get hooked. Just listen to the lyrics and sounds from Sunday Morning Coming Down. I get the chills every time I hear it. Throughout his ups and downs in life his music always perserveered. I saw him in Virginia and I am glad I did. He is the one musician, who's songs always brings me back to when I was a young man and for that I am greatly appreciative.

Karl May southend-on-sea, Essex, UK michaelmay09@aol.com I've been listening to Cash and Perkins songs since a young kid (due mainly to my mum being a big fan). No one in my local pub really talks about Johnny Cash, except me and a few friends. So you can imagine my surprise when the film came out and virtually everybody in my local had gone to see it, and every single one of them had a Johnny Cash album of one type or another. One of my most favourite memories is when he played at the local theatre in the early nineties, one week later he was followed by Frankie Laine. It just goes to show what a real, legendary entertainer the man was.	phil new york pwolff1177@aim.com old golden throat was the bomb snigget!!

Patricia H. Fabricius Afton, NY USA Patfabric@yahoo.com John Cash came from poverty, pain of losing a brother he loved and rejection from his father. His face was not handsome but it was beautiful. His voice was not smooth but real, his songs were not frill but fact. Life is not puppy dogs in a widow or always singing in the rain. Life can be seeing stray dogs - and people - starve and die in the rain of pneumonia due to no shelter. These facts are why I have respected and loved the music of John Cash for decades. His music, thanks to modern technology, lives on. Amen.	Rachel Van Buren, AR, U.S.A. Raynd18@aol.com Johnny Cash was an inspirational singer and told the story from his heart. I'm just sorry I never got to meet him and June Carter before they passed. I bought walk the line the other day and I watch it 24/7! They truly loved one another and the ring of fire between the two of them will never die as they rest in peace.

The music is fun and lyrics are poetry.	Fran Stone Ardpatrick, Co. Limerick, Ireland franmedwom@eircom.net Johnny Cash was always my hero when I was growing up. I learned every song of his that I ever heard. His music continues to dominate my life. I was therefore apprehensive about seeing Walk The Line. My fears were unfounded, the film was brilliant. I'm absolutely certain that both Johhny and June would have loved it. All credit to John Carter Cash for implementing it. I just wish they could have seen it. What amazed me were the number of young people in the cinema, living proof that the music of one of the most perfectly matched couples ever, will live forever! In present day, the only other musically true-love partnership that I can name, is Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa. I thank the good Lord that I have been priviledged to have had Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash as part of my life. Music is the soul of life and every voice is unique.

John Freeport, IL. USA JLVeer1125@aol.com I once told my brother about 40 years ago,I would buy an album of Johnny Cash if it were just of him breathing. Now, I'll miss his breathing. I was a Johnny Cash fan from the first time I heard him on the radio,about 1956 or 57. My all time favorite song of his is "Home Of The Blues", though about 500 more of them are a very close second. I was blessed to see Johnny perform live on 3 ocassions. Until 1972 or 1973 I had every album he had recorded to that date, both Sun and Columbia. After they were stolen in a home invasion, I bought very few of them but, every one of his songs are burned into my brain and my heart. We had some parralels also. I also served in the USAF. I overcame several addictions and I trust in God with a burning faith.
