While accompanied by a earthy-demeanored banjo, harmonica, and guitar totting band of highwaymen; obviously, from somewhere south of that there much-storied Mason / Dixon line - played on well into the vividly-arrayed night. But the only other thing I can recall about misty-aura surrounding this splendid ball, whilst yet a dream Of gone-legends lived on behind Slumber's grand-ole curtain, once magically-parted, were the words They sang will stay evermore crooned within my heart: " I wan nah LIVE, in Ef fi gy ... for-ev-errrr"..... & Though It keeps right on Playing over again, Not haunting, but staying just the same s even days go by Why I'd have never forgotten – anyway That man-in-black and his wife!

Russell – after 5/03 and 09/03 The night of 11/19/04 ]]> 99869@blogcritics.org Mon, 22 Nov 2004 19:01:23 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/13/044942.php#comment-71959 HOW DOES A PERSON GET TO KNOW SOMEONE SO VERY ,VERY DEEP,, MODERATE,SINCERE,, MOTIVATED,, KIND,, BOLD,LOVING,AND STRONG,, I MYSELF TRULY MISS MR.

The opening act was a joyous Statler Brothers. It is my first concert and forms an indelible memory. Johnny Cash - in his life and his music - epitomized all that is true about freedom and social responsibility. Whether his songs were about Prison, Vietnam, God, or building a car out of 'borrowed' parts from work, the Man was sincere - and sincerely the greatest figure in Country Music since Hank Williams. It is so prescient that his last album - The Man Comes Around - speaks so plainly of leaving this life and moving it on farther down the line. The final song on his final album is an old wartime spritual: "We'll Meet Again" We'll meet again, Don't know where, don't know when; But I know we'll meet again some sunny day... I like to think that Johnny has met his June again. Sadly, the world will never meet anyone like Johnny again. ]]> 18626@blogcritics.org Sat, 13 Sep 2003 08:08:30 EDT
