The real genius behind the success of Sun Records. He discovered Jerry Lee Lewis, put Johnny Cash on the map and a whole lot more.

Jackie spotted that on the CMA 'feeds a little earlier - Roshina bought her an iphone, so... :rolleyes:

What an incredible bio.  Thanks

Dave W

He wrote my third favorite Jerry Lee song (after Breathless and Great Balls Of Fire)



And my favorite Johnny Cash song



He was a good singer in his own right. Here he's covering the old Dolly Parton hit (although he didn't write it)



He put out a documentary consisting of his home movies. Here's a segment, probably the only place you'll see Johnny Cash wearing a pig 's nose.

In honor of Mr. Cash, I have changed my profile pic.

Nice screen capture.  ;D

BTW, did you notice that Jack was playing an old bakelite Rickenbacker lap steel?

Thanks.  The snipping tool in Windows 7 is quite handy.

Nope, hadn't identified that!
