Thanks Thomas... impressive pix.

From an article in the UK Daily Mail by Glenys Roberts

June wed Cash in 1968 when he was at rock bottom, and helped him kick his bad habits. It was a magic formula, the rebel saved by the love of a good woman. It seems no accident that his death comes only four months after hers.

Cash was brave and spot-on in his musical taste. He spoke up for Bob Dylan when he was a complete unknown and gave Kris Kristofferson, then a struggling songwriter, his chance at the 1969 Newport Folk Festival. In return they offered him the pick of the songs they wrote, as did Dolly Parton, Leonard Cohen, and even Paul McCartney, who wrote a song called Man, We Was Lonely, which Cash called "the countriest song I have ever heard".

British fans will remember him at Glastonbury in 1994 when he sang accompanied by an acoustic guitar about sin and redemption and brought tears to everyone's eyes. One critic said his performances were so deeply felt, so right, that a law should be passed making everyone listen to them.


RIP Johnny
