Great website that you have!  Please consider putting a link in for us at
www.TheFolsomPrisonGang.com.   We are a Johnny Cash tribute band located
in Western North Carolina.  We are not an impersonation band, we do not
try to act like Johnny Cash.  We try to reproduce his music and keep it
alive.

Thanks and regards,

hi, i wasn't sure if there would be a site like this still. i'm glad i tried it. my 7 year old son is a huge fan of johnny cash.

 
we watch walk the line almost everyday, he knows pretty much every song by heart. he got a guitar for christmas because he wants to play like mr.cash he says...
 
he will be starting lessons the end of this school year. he is so excited. i am so glad i shopped in the store i will be able to pick up some of his music for him to learn.
 
anyways i thought it was really neat that he enjoys johnny cash sooooooo much. you don't really see that in kids these days.
 
hopefully he will stick with it, you never know he just might be the next man in black....
 
          sincerly, a very proud mom

I just wanted to say that it's only once in a lifetime when a wife dies the husband feels dead inside but he's still alive. That's how Johnny felt when June died. When A husband feels like that you know he really loved her and they would die for each other. When that happens you know they have no regrets and they are really happy. I admire Johnny for that nad I hope that someday I will be that strong to do that someday.
 
Love, Kristyna

As I have been reading different items about June; and listened to the songs performed by Joihn on American V in the last couple of days; I have been reminded of the love of my own sweet Wife, Ann Marie. In reading what's written of June, her personality, her love and devotion for her Husband and children, I've seen many similarities in her, that are a normal part of my wife. Thank you for being willing to share your portion concerning her.

After a couple years of doing nothing on the six string I just picked up the guitar again…

What better music is there to listen to and to play your selves than the Johnny Cash songs.

 

I started to search the world wide web and came across this website…

I must say it is a good job done…

 

I’ll love the music of Johnny 4ever.

Subject:  The Man Johnny Cash
Date:  Sat, 14 Apr 2007 1:39 AM

I just wanted to write out of respect for the man that I have heard the songs of practically all of my life. When the news of Johnny Cash passing away it really hit home. It felt like a part of me had died and when I seen the look in my son's eyes I knew he felt the same as I did. The man was like a rock in music within all of my family. We also listened to other music genres and artist, But they faded away and collected dust and were forgotten over time. But Johnny Cash and his music never faded away or was forgotten. It is still played and sang too in my family today. I have been listened to Johnny Cash for over forty years and I still love it as much as I did when I was a young boy. His music made me feel so good about life and stand up for what you believe in, be honest and truth full, believe in yourself and be yourself. His music gave my a lot of strength growing up over the years. He is the reason I took up the guitar playing at a very young age because I wanted to play his music and sound like him. My son at the age of six came to me and said he wanted to learn to play guitar. I asked him why? I was thinking he wanted to play because I ( his father ) played guitar. He said he wanted to play and sound like Johnny Cash. It really brought a tear to my eye, not that it hurt me but it made me realize that this was my son that felt and had the same passion that I had when I was his age. He is now fourteen years old and still plays Johnny Cash every day. Over the years of learning to play it has come very frustrating for him to learn and all I had to do was put on some Johnny Cash music and within five minutes the guitar was back in his hands and being played. When I listen to him play today I am very impressed he sounds a lot like Johnny. I strongly feel that the passion of listening and playing along of Johnny and June Carter Cash music will be in this family's heart and soul for many years and generations to come.

Date:  Sat, 14 Apr 2007 12:25 AM
I never got the opportunity to meet Johnny or June and for years I lived closer than I thought.  My husband and I recently took a trip to Hendersonville to visit the gravesites of Johnny and June.  It was a humbling experience and really made me realize how much my relationship with my husband means.  Their love for one another was unparalled in either the showbiz industry or with the average couple. 
 
I discovered that two days after I was in Hendersonville that John and June's home burned to the ground.  We were so close and now we will never see it.  I can't help but feel that it is the Lord's way of making sure that their home will always be just that...their home and no one else's.  They had so much love in that house for each other and all who visited that I don't think it was meant for anyone else.  Their lives began in a ring of fire and ended the same way.
 
I can only hope that I am loved by husband as deeply as June was by John.  I can only hope that my life means as much to my family as June and John's did to theirs.

I was saddened to find out yesterday that the home of Johnny & June Cash had been destroyed by fire. That home held so much History & Love. I'm so grateful that in my lifetime, that I had the opportunity to see Johnny & June's home on my trips to Nashville, Tn.  I treasure the pictures of me standing by Johnny's wooden fence and drive way.

I am a mother of 5 boys. I am 36 years old. I wish today in this crazy place we call our world, could still have people in it like June and Johnny. I pray that websites such as these stay around to help me remind my children that at one time, people really did care about others. People did wave as you drove down the road.  This is something that is getting lost in this time of the new age. 

Remember that the raise of sunshine beaming threw the clouds are the hands of the Lord and the Angels he has with him, June & Johnny included.

listening to johnny cash makes me very emotional... my mother listened to him when i was a child and by the time i was 5 i knew every cash song there ever was.  one of my fondest memories of him was his song one peice at a time, my mother had a record (yes a real record) and it would skip when he sang the chorous and me and my brother would make fun of the skip.....i got it one..one...one....one....one...one...one untill we fixed it.  When i was young (i think 5 or so) and my mother was insane, she drove me and my brother  from pittsburgh to west virgina in the middle of the night to see him play live in a night club. and i remember her putting me up on the stage to sing with him, she was so proud that i knew all the word of the song he was singing.  Johnny Cash has the ability to make me very happy and very sad all in the same breath.  since my mother has passed i listen to him alot more to bring back good memories.

My gosh how I love that man!  I still miss him too. Been a fan since the early 60's. My husband and I saw him and June in concert four times and also at a Billy Graham Crusade.  They were so great and sooo great for each other. 
I live in Tampa Fl and John & June had a home about an hour away.  Don't know why I never went by there just on the off chance of getting a peek at John.  Regret that I never did.
The last concert we saw him at we were fortunate enough to get front row center seats.  I was like a 16 year old!  LOL  He smiled and winked at me just as I was taking a picture of him but the picture didn't come out too good.  Could it have been because my hands were shaking?  You better believe they were!
Thanks for this site.  John is a man that will still be known a hundred years from now!

I just wanted to thank-you for having the intriguing site up of June Carter Cash. 
 
SInce watching the movie Walk the Line last night I cried my eyes out as I found it so deeply real, spiritual and moving. 
 
Today I looked up Johnny Cash's site and didn't find enough on June and so when I found your site I was blessed even more with seeing live footage of them and reading more about her life. 
 
What a woman and inspiration. 
 
I was also touched by the fact that today is March 1.... their wedding anniversary. 
 
Since I am divorced and have experienced rejection for my choice I identified with June's hurt at the antagonism given to her by the self-righteous and judgmental woman in the movie. 
 
Cash and Carter's love and marriage has inspired me to keep trusting in G-d for a good man, one that shares a passion for the arts and who can love my daughter as well. 
 
I also love the fact that June didn't use the words Step-Daughter as I have always found that so divisive and hurtful to inclusion. 
 
What a life! Thanks for making my day! 
 
Shalom, Caron G. Rand

I stumbled upon your page today while trying to recall what I thought I remembered about Johnny Cash and the fire that killed the condors. I thought I'd bring to your attention a tribute album that you may have overlooked. It's called Misery Loves Company, by The Pine Valley Cosmonauts (who also recorded a tribute album to Bob Wills.) PVC is a loosely affiliated group made up of members of the Mekons, Waco Brothers, Bottle Rockets and other Bloodshot Records artists. Here's a link to a bio:

I am 53 and the only concerts I ever bought tickets for were to see the Carter Family and Johnny Cash.  Probably 5 times. One time I saw a newer version of the Carter Family with Helen and Anita and their respective families near Kansas City in about the 1983 timeframe.  Anita is probably my all time favorite voice. June is my all time favorite entertainer.  I felt like they were sisters and never really met them except to say hello and a few words.  I would love to see more video on DVD especially of June and the Carter sisters.  I loved Johnny Cash but June was the one.  Her part of the Johnny Cash show made it worth double what they charged.  I would love to hear John Carter, Carlene, and Anita’s daughter do their own Carter tribute album. That would be a hot seller.

Hello, I'm writing from France (Mulhouse), from a town near Germany and Switzerland. As I heard on the radio that Mr. J.R. Cash passed to "the other side", first I was very surprised. My mother is now 80, J.R. was ten years younger !

But, secondly, I was thinking that every "body" have one day to go ... It's just a case of the moment. Since I was 12, I heard Johnny Cash sining on the radio, on the tapes and later on CD's. I'm not speaking very well english, but his texts are so full of love to another, they are good texts and for me, sometimes when I get the blues, thank to Johnny, I get the rythm. I had the intention, one day, to meet him ... now it's to late, in this world. Good bye my friend, rest in peace with June, I hope i'll see you in Paradise and perhaps I'll have a backstage pass to your show ! Thank you for your music.
