Pappy---Johnny Cash was one of the nicest people that I ever met onboard one of my flights. I flew Johnny from (hold on) (I had to check my journal), but I flew Johnny from Dallas to Los Angeles for taping of a show. We knew in advance that he would be coming onboard as the last passenger and with an escort, which turned out to be Glen Campbell. And, YES, he (Cash) carried his guitar with him. Or, at least he did on that day. BTW, Glen Campbell flew under the name of Ernest Bates. (Whatever!)
 
Saw 4 of his shows, saw the Johnny Cash Exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, saw his home at Hickory Lake (outside at least) & used to own all 115 original LP records. Still have a lot of LPs & 45 rpms.
 
Too bad the big home in Hendersonville, Tennessee (Hickory Lake) burned down. The Johnny Cash Museum also has closed. Wonder where all that stuff he had went?
 
My wife, Grandson, his friend and myself went to a Johnny Cash impersonator show last evening. He had a four piece band in back of him with two female backup singers. It was an excellent show. He not only sang some of Johnny’s songs, but also would tell some history about Johnny now and then. It lasted just over two hours. The opening song was “Folsom Prison Blues.”

One of the things that I learned listening to the stories that Shawn Barker told was that a Johnny and I had a few things in common. One is that we can both play the harmonica and two is that we both love trains.
