February 27, 200917 yr Seventy-seven years ago on this day of February 26th in Kingsland Arkansas a legendary singer, song writer, known as the man in black, one of the Highwaymen was born into a world so much different from the one we live in today. Born Johnny R. Cash in 1932, his imprint on the world made by a deep and very distinctive voice that people from generations later (such as myself) could pick out of millions of others. His songs still to this day have been tested by time and still stand as some of the greatest songs and hits ever written in not only Country Music, but rock, pop, and so many others. He was not a perfect man, but a incredible reflection on the magnitude of what the world is today. I'd like to celebrate and remember Johnny Cash's birthday today, because he was the awesome one and only Man In Black, no one can ever bring back that deep voice and one of a kind characteristics that he brought to this world every time he touched pen to paper, stepped on a stage or sat down with a guitar. Happy Birthday Johnny Cash, may your days of being a Ghost Ryder In the Sky, forever being a Highwayman... again and again... or maybe a simple drop of rain... but you will always remain and come back again... and again. ~Chet
