Remembering The Man In Black

February 26th was Johnny Cash's birthday. He would have been 78 today.

Cash fans are trying to establish this date as a regular annual celebration of the man's life and work - Johnny Cash Day. You are encouraged to demonstrate your allegiance by wearing black today.

I just added a post over on Barstool Blues about how I came to love 'The Man In Black' (including the video of his superb version of Hurt). Check it out.

I even remember where I was. The fact I was in Nashville helps, of course.

Do you have a black shirt to go with the hat, Cowboy? And are you able to get away with either at work, even on a Friday? Or will it be just an evening celebration for you?

Will you be getting the new album? Let me know what you think of it.
