When I was a kid, mom used to sing to me.

Mom didn't sing the tradition kiddie songs much. She preferred to sing the songs she loved. That was Country & Western songs, which as most can guess is not your typical children's fare. I loved to hear mom sing. We used to have some great car rides and we never needed a radio.

Some of my favorites were:

Johnny Cash "Long Black Veil"




Johnny Cash "5 Feet High and Rising"



Johnny Cash "I Got Stripes"




Johnny Cash "Frankie & Johnny"



Notice a theme? Is it any wonder Johnny Cash is one of my favorite singers/songwriters.
