  • Johnny Cash by Dave Hoekstra Sept
    Johnny Cash by Dave Hoekstra Sept. 11, 1988 HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. A slow drive from the new steel-and-glass Nashville airport to the old stone-and-timber House of Cash in Hendersonville absorbs a lot of passionate land. A couple of folks have pulled over to inspect a black honky-tonk piano that has been dumped along the roadway. Cabbie Harold Pylant tells me I am the same age Jesus Christ was when he was crucified. Of course, this is before Pylant hands over a liter bottle of ice water that has been blessed by St. Peter. This is life close to the earth. Johnny Cash has spent most of his 56 years near the earth, spiritually and physically. He was born in a three-room railroad shack in Kingsland, Ark. Father Ray Cash was an indigent farmer who, when unable to live off the black dirt, worked on the railroad, picked cotton, chopped wood and became a hobo laborer. Under a New Deal program, the Cash family moved to a more fertile northeastern Arkansas in 1935, where Johnny began work as a child laborer on his dad's 20-acre cotton farm. By the time he was 14, Johnny Cash was making $2.50 a day as a water boy for work gangs along the Tyronza River. "The hard work on the farm is not anything I've ever missed," Cash admitted in a country conversation at his House of Cash offices here, with Tom T. Hall on the turntable and an autographed picture of Emmylou Harris on the wall.

"It's a tribute in a lot of ways," Rocker (nee Leon Drucker) tells Billboard. "It's a song I wrote over the last couple of months. I was thinking about my career with 40 years of Stray Cats and all of that and thinking about the upright bass, which is what started this thing. It takes me back to the opening line of the song -- which is "Took me 'round the world and I changed my name/found a little fortune, found a little fame/Doin' the dog house shuffle" -- which is right out of my story. Dog House is what they call the upright bass, so it's a tribute to the bass itself and a lot of the players that I came up listening to." Some of those players -- including Elvis Presley's Bill Black, Willie Dixon, Fred Maddox, the Tennessee Three's Marshall Grant, Carl Perkins' brother Clayton and Al Rex of Bill Haley & His Comets -- are featured in the "Dog House Shuffle" video, along with cartoon animations and studio footage of Rocker and his band recording the track.

  • Johnny Cash Returns to ‘Stamping Ovation’ Legendary Singer Is Second Inductee Into Multi-Year Music Icons Series
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Mark Saunders June 5, 2013 [email protected] 202-268-6524 usps.com/news Release No. 13-056 To obtain a high-resolution of the stamp image for media use only, please email [email protected]. Johnny Cash Returns to ‘Stamping Ovation’ Legendary Singer is Second Inductee into Multi-Year Music Icons Series NASHVILLE — John Carter Cash, Rosanne Cash, Larry Gatlin, Jamey Johnson, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Roys, Marty Stuart, Randy Travis and other entertainers paid tribute to Johnny Cash as he was inducted today into the Postal Service’s Music Icons Forever stamp series at the Grand Ole Opry’s Ryman Auditorium. “With his gravelly baritone and spare percussive guitar, Johnny Cash had a distinctive musical sound — a blend of country, rock ’n’ roll and folk — that he used to explore issues that many other popular musicians of his generation wouldn’t touch,” said U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors member Dennis Toner. “His songs tackled sin and redemption, good and evil, selfishness, loneliness, temptation, love, loss and death. And Johnny explored these themes with a stark realism that was very different from other popular music of that time.” “It is an amazing blessing that my father, Johnny Cash be honored with this stamp. Dad was a hardworking man, a man of dignity. As much as anything else he was a proud American, always supporting his family, fans and country. I can think of no better way to pay due respect to his legacy than through the release of this stamp,” said singer-songwriter, producer John Carter Cash, Johnny Cash’s son.

September 12, 2003 Johnny Cash Ditty Bopper 292x1 Class Photo: 79901 17 Apr 51 The Facebook page, USAFSS 1948 - 1979 and its discussion group does not normally elevate any one USAFSSer above another or recognize individuals in the way of public fame, honors, medals, positions, etc. However it is natural for some people to want to know more about USAFSS veterans who have gone on to distinguish themselves as entertainers, authors, politicians, etc. Such a person was, of course, Johnny Cash, country music artist of fame. During Cash’s enlistment in the Air Force, he was just another USAFSSer doing his job, although he did form a musical band, The Landsberg Barbarians which entertained his fellow airmen. That, in itself, was not so important because several airmen were amateur musicians during their times in the service and many bands were formed at various bases which entertained the troops. Yet Johnny Cash’s band and music was the root of, and laid the foundation for his future endeavors. This document will serve as a brief and selective historical record of Johnny’s time as a USAFSSer based on known information, records, personal reports by fellow airmen, and hearsay. USAF (USAFSS) Veteran 7 July 1950 - 3 July 1954 Johnny Cash completed his basic military training at Lackland AFB and tech at Keesler AFB and Brooks AFB. He was assigned PCS to the 12th RSM, Landsberg, Germany, as a Morse code operator, AKA, a ditty bopper While at Landsberg, it has been reported he bought a guitar and learned to play it, forming his first band, named "The Landsberg Barbarians", a take off on the base news publication, The Landsberg Barvarian.
