I have a fascination with Johnny Cash’s voice and his songs. Playing one of his CDs is pure relaxation. Strange because a lot of his songs are rather depressing – in an unbeat sort of way. Is it his gravelly voice? Is it the way he strung simple words together felt by the listener’s heart? His energy going out to the people? Do you feel the complications of his life in his songs and his singing? From the first time I heard his voice, his songs, I liked them. Wherever he is perhaps he knows that people are enjoying his music and perhaps he’s smiling.
And now I’m out the door for this ‘n that, grateful for the day, even though the sun can’t be seen, and I’m humming Johnny’s music. What are you humming at the moment?
