I do believe that had I been able to sit in that room with those four men, I probably would have passed out. I can't even imagine. These guys were (and are) more than legends... these men are national treasures. I met Cash briefly in 1997 at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark Delaware, shook his hand and he signed a photo for me, I was unable to speak! I remember my hand was shaking when I reached out to grab the photo when he handed it back to me. Later that same evening, I also met Willie Nelson. Willie had a fishing hat on that I think someone had thrown onto the stage- I didn't have anything with me for Willie to sign, he says to me and my friend "Do ya'll want an autograph"? And I told him I'd love that but I didn't have anything with me for him to sign- he took that hat off of his head, signed it to me, and smiled when he handed it to me and says "you can tell everyone you got Willie's hat". That hat is still on my wall. My buddy that was with me didn't have anything either, Willie says "someone give me a hat" and someone in his entourage hands Willie a ball cap, and he signed it to my friend. To be as famous as these men, and still take the time out for folks is real class. I met Waylon too at the Capitol Music Hall in Wheeling, WV in 1994. He signed a picture book for me. I wouldn't sell these items for any amount of money. Sadly, I never have had the opportunity to meet Kris Kristofferson... but I did get his autograph.

Cash and the band did some really crazy stuff when on tour in the late 50's and early 60's. At one time, they bought a dozen of baby chickens and released them on each floor at the hotel they were staying at. Another time, they took a saw and cut off the legs on all the hotel room's furniture so that "the small people could enjoy them". They painted a hotel room completely black and didn't leave anything out - even the windows and furnitures were painted! One of the craziest things I've heard was one time when Cash and the two other bandmembers (Marshall Grant and Luther Perkins) got separate hotel rooms next to each other. So Cash simply took a fire-axe and chopped out a man-sized hole in the wall in between the two rooms, so that he could walk through!

As an artist myself, I can completely relate to their "storytelling jam session" - how the creative energy feeds on itself while being passed around from person to person... and the explanations offered as impetus for the song writing... it doesn't get better than this!
