I was always either ahead of or behind the times as it came to music but I never “got” Johnny Cash until I took up a guitar until later in life.
Learning chords, trying to keep the rhythm by myself and sing and remember the words… a great hurdle. When one or two would come together I’d realize what a gift he had, and why frustrated guitar teachers want to teach older beginning students Johnny Cash. So after I fed the mockingbird, let Puff out of his cave and dealt with CSNY I went to Folsom Prison.
That may have been too much because I’ve taken a year off guitar and lessons. When I was a kid I knew nothing of that man in black. It took years to respect his work and now I do so more than ever.
I’ll sing with you anytime, but my vocal and other instrument talents are neglected but may improve and perhaps return with practice Cheers, Dee
