On this day in 1932: Johnny Cash born; my '08 visit to the Cash home

Johnny Cash home, May, 2008

Johnny Cash, the Man in Black, was born in Kingsland, Arkansas on February 26, 1932. Cash died in 2003, but yes, like Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, and John Lennon, he never really left us.

Four years ago I travelled to Dyess, Arkansas, where Cash grew up and visited his home and I enjoyed a tour of the house and the property by the gracious man who owned it then, William Stegall.

Later today, the members of the Cash family in attendance, there will be a groundbreaking ceremony for the restoration of the home.

Below you will find my Cash posts, including my entry about my visit to Dyess.

Happy 80th, Johnny.
