All You Need Is Cash

Ah, the holidays.  So fun, but so busy.  This weekend we're relaxing a bit, and then getting out the Xmas decs and taking the wagon on a tree-hunting trek.  I hope to have time to write more after things calm down; for now, here's another music post.

I know I've done a post on Johnny Cash before, and put up a few of his videos other places. "Walk The Line" and "Ring Of Fire" for my sweetie, maybe "Jackson" for my nephew.  But he has so many good songs, and they are part of the soundtrack of my mind, and my life.  Miss Mox met him once; I wish I'd gotten to see him play.  When I was a kid we watched his TV show.

What made me pull this together is finding out "Long Black Veil" wasn't an original Cash song.  It was written by someone else, and first made popular by Lefty Frizzell.  But Johnny made it his own, as with so many songs.  That's one thing I like about him- he seems to get inside the characters in the songs, even if they are clearly different from him.  He makes them come alive.


Long Black Veil- This one is classic Cash- dark, lonely, with a twist.




Flesh And Blood- From the show.  Listen close, Miss Mox- there are buckeyes for you in here...
