I would like to share a memory with everyone. Years and years ago, Johnny Cash and June went to a huge penitentary to perform. The television camera followed them both in. The guard at the final barred entrance, had to challenge them. Must have been routine, I guess. "Who have we got here" he said firmly and gruffly. Johnny said "Just Juney and me".

The guard let them in, and when the heavy door clanged behind them, Junes face registered a quick concern. I think she realised what it was to have to be even temporarily in that place.

What a show they both put on. The cameras panned on men, finally as human beings, being treated as human beings. An elderly man was caught crying and smiling. Sentimental old stuff, ya say. Yep. A lovely lady.
