how naïve I was until I started dealing with iPad, iTunes and Amazon MP3 downloads. You see, to begin with my blogging Twin sent me an iTunes gift card at Christmas, I had to ask my Twin how to use it. I did and I downloaded The Essential Ray Price album (41 songs) to my iPad with no problem. I have an $8.30 credit with iTunes and each time I try to use it I go through such a rigmarole and I am never able to complete it.
Anyway, I love Johnny Cash. When I was young I had all of his albums which are long gone by the way. On the album ‘Hello I’m Johnny Cash’ is a song called ‘Sing a Travelin’ Song.’ I love that song and I have been trying to find it on a CD for a long time. Amazon has the CD but it is a remastered foreign version that had bad reviews from ones who had purchased it. I finally found the original version at Amazon on the MP3 downloads. It took me hours to get that all figured out. I have it now on iTunes and my Windows Media Player. Whew!!

I will never forget the first time I saw Johnny Cash in person. It was at Arthur Illinois at the Moultrie/Douglas county fair grounds.
“ 1969 – Perhaps the biggest Fair before or since in terms of attendance, the Mo-Do County Fair started off opening night with George Jones and Tammy Wynette one of country music’s biggest acts. Only a few were bigger and Johnny Cash with his entire show including his wife June Carter, the Carter family and the Statler Brothers were one of them. They played to a crowd of between 15-20 thousand people. Only the recent Fireworks during Arthur’s Freedom Celebration have ever witnessed such a crowd in one day.” http://www.moultriedouglascountyfair.com/history/history%20main.html
I remember that there were people on the rooftops of the buildings and in the trees, people everywhere. It was one of the best times ever. Somewhere I have some pictures I took that unforgettable night. You can see that I am a classic country music fan.
I about forgot the countdown till Spring is 18 days!
Stay safe and be happy!!
