Johnny Cash Is Still Number One !!!

Just an hour before he was to sing Folsom Prison Blues at his own tribute concert last week, Johnny Cash wasn’t sure he could do it. "It’s been 19 months" says the 67year old singer, who hadn’t preformed publicly since being diagnosed with a nervous disorder that has weakened him, destabilized his blood pressure and nearly taken his life. " Even walking down the stairs to go to the stage when I was going on, I had my doubts about myself, if I could pull it off ," Cash says "because folsom Prison Blues takes a lot of energy or not. "As it turned out, I did. I had more than enough. If they had scheduled more songs for me, I probably would’ve sung them. Though he appeared grayer and frailer than he did at his last concert, in in October 1997, when he nearly fell over while reaching for his pick, the Man In Black’s commanding baritone still resonated through New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom. He sang Folsom Prison Blues, then led an all-star chorus that included Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews, The fugees, Wyclef Jean and Cash’s wife, June Carter Cash, through I Walk The Line

Rosie Flores - "When I was in my old punk band, the Screamin' Sirens, we would listen to Johnny Cash on an old 8 track we had. When "  Big  River " came on, we would crank it. I finally met him '96 at the   Austin  airport. What a great man indeed."
