My brother loved Johnny Cash, maybe because this was his grandfathers drinking buddy. And every time he drank, Johnnys spirit was probably there with my brother and grandfather probably drinking around a table.
@Lrnlv We're a homeschool family studying Silverstein, and I didn't know this, either! And I'm the dope that forgot what all was in this as I played it for my 10 yr old!! Not smart!
@Lrnlv Wow, Thats incredible. My favorite poet, wrote my favorite song. Thanx for sharing that, I never would have known. But now that I think of it, Its SO Shel Silverstein. hahaha How did I miss it. Beautiful.
Is this the recording that's on the Legend of Johnny Cash cd?
