Thoughts on Johnny Cash and an End to War by Joe Cooper

Even as Johnny got older, he still sang great songs.

The feeling he put into them is very powerful.

Many do not know that he was writing songs and poetry when he was just 12 years old.

His mother taught him to play guitar.

He joined the Air Force.  Many of his fellow G.I.'s and civilians asked him to sing at clubs around the base in Germany where he was stationed.  

When he came home, he auditioned at Sun Records, teamed up with the Tennessee Two and had lots of hits.  His first was I Walk the Line.  

When you have time, listen to Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream ... people of the world wanting to put an end to war.  https://youtu.be/WB1UD2GpBcc

We have been waiting all our lives for 'No More Wars' ... not sure it will ever happen.

Thanks,

Joe
