When I was very, very young and first starting to sleep in my own bedroom, my dad would put a stack of Johhny Cash records on the floor model RCA stereo at night to keep me company.

I literally grew up with the sound of his voice.

I've been through all the usual life phases of musical tastes and genres but I *always* kept my "Cash stash", no matter what...:)

I know exactly what you are saying Salamander. Later on in life, I listened more to The Who, Stones, Led Zeppelin, and yes, I admit it: Journey, Styx, and Boston. Then came the 80's, and MTV. Before I knew it, it was the 90's, and the occasional good band.

But I always remember that voice Cash had. My brother once called it "haunting."

Indeed.
