I was never a country music fan, but he had a special meaning to me. One of my earliest memories (this has to be from when I was 3 or 4) is sitting in my grandmothers house and signing "I walk the Line" along with her. She was always listening to Johnny Cash, and I know many of his songs from listening to her 8-Track collection when I was little. As I grew up, I never thought to listen to his music, since I don't really care for country. Then, several years ago I was working on an archaeological dig, and one of the other guys there had several Cash albums, and we listened to them all week long. The music really brought a lot back to me, and I found that Cash wasn't just country music, but was also gospel, soul, rock, blues, and so much more. Most of all, his words touched me. He wrote of a life lived hard, but also of love and faith. A couple years ago, I bought a Johnny Cash CD for my Grandmother, and she was very happy, as it was something that we could both listen to and enjoy on so many levels. Thanks Johnny, you'll be missed.</blockquote>
