Oh Come, Angel BandJohnny Cash is dead. I have his boxed set (which is divided into three elemental cagetories -- Murder, Love, and God), and his late wife tells this interesting little story in the liner notes:
"He was stooped down on one knee and grasping a guitar trying to tune it to somewhere near the correct pitch to make a correct chord ring -- 'Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down, Ah-ummmm -- Ah-ummmmm,' and he'd strike the guitar again. Plink; plunk; 'A-ummm...' What are you trying to do, I asked. 'I'm trying to tune this blame guitar, honey, and I'm trying to sing like Johnny cash.' Who is Johnny Cash, I asked Elvis Presley, and I grabbed the guitar away from him."
