Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤😊❤❤

Cash's best performance of his song that I've heard. Solie's flawless guitar work made this especially enjoyable, crisp and punchy. Fabulous.

[@cumminsrealpower680]

Solie"s picking was great. I agree. This is his best performance of "Flat Top Box". Simple and great. Picking was spot on. I know all of JC songs are great, this is just my favorite performance of this song.

I'm not familiar with solie, but I know Bob Wootton was his long time guitar player after original member Luther Perkins died in a house fire. Can anyone fill me in on what I'm missing here?

[@johna1764]

I saw him 3 different times. 1st was at what was called 'Grand ol Opry West' in Sacramento in the late 50s with him & about a dozen other country stars on in 1 night, the 2nd time was at the San Juaquen County Fair in Stockton with his wife June & then 1 time in Vegas as well.

[@davidballard1745]

Johnny Cash was an absolute legend in the Country Music field and I miss his style . Today's country music is nothing like these artist of the 50's,60's, 70's and 80's. Waylon, Merle, Willie, and so many others.

I'm an 80's guy and I sing along with the 80's songs when they come up in the rotation on our muzak at work. Today (yes, the warehouse was open on the 4th of July) a coworker asked me if I liked Johnny Cash. I said of course, who doesn't. He asked me to sing a Johnny Cash song. I started singing this. He and three other people said I fucking nailed it. Occasionally, I think I'm a pretty good singer. Like when there's Rock Band at a party and I'm the one who sings when we beat the hard songs.

The best; one of my favorite Cash songs sung by the great Rosanne with Randy Scruggs and her husband playing guitar. It was one helluva show with the Mavericks as back up band.

[@MrNoturaveragerednek]

This is one of my favorite country songs, no matter who sings it, Johnny or Rosanne, or even the version where father and daughter sing this song together, its just a great song. And another thing about great artist like Johnny Cash, he was a humble man, no one else introduced himself when he came on stage, Saying "Hi I'm Johnny Cash" no one else did that but Johnny even tho he didn't need and introduction, and he and the other greats would introduce their band members when they had solos.

That's why Johnny's a great guy, he was always humble. Gives credit to Jim Soldi there on the guitar, great guitar playing. The song is a peak into the life of an entertainer. Guy who loves what he's doing. So important in life. The line in the song about girls selling their jewelry just so they could watch their favorite musician in concert is priceless. "All the girls..from 9 to 90..." that's a lyric. The song tells a story, makes you want to listen and has a great melody. Easily one of my favorite Cash songs. Such simplicity, good ole country nature to it and the live performance here is a gem. There is something magical that happens when listening to Cash.
