We bought my Grandma a cd player for Christmas, and she has asked me to make her some CDs.  I know she has some Johnny Cash tapes lying around, so she must like him.  But I know almost nothing about him.  If you were going to make a "Best of Johnny Cash" CD for an 81 year old lady who is a tough working class "I lived through the Depression" type, but who also doesn't like anything too loud or profane, what would you pick?\n\nSo far the only two Johnny Cash songs I know are Hurt and Ring of Fire.

One of my favorite childhood memories is when my parents would take us on Saturday nites to visit with my favorite aunt and uncle. My uncle was a huge country fan and a huge\nBuck Owens fan so all nite he'd play what we now call "old country". The party would wind down and everyone would crash on couches etc and every Sunday morning my uncle would sneak over to the stereo before everyone was up and blast out some country to wake us up. I woke up a lot of Sunday mornings to "Together Again" or "I've got a tiger by the tail" - good times. Thank You Mr. Owens - please say to my Uncle Bud up there, he'd like to shake your hand.\n\nI also heard that she showed up to perform Friday nite but decided he wasn't feeling well so he left but while he was walking to his car in the parking lot, a couple from Oregon said they had come all the way to see him so he went back and did a show for them. Now that's an entertainer!

Since Aerosmiths' Big Ones CD is my all-time favorite - as in stranded on a desert isle with only 1 cd to listen to, that's what I would choose! - I love all those songs! To choose only one, tho,\nI would have to say Don't Want To Miss A Thing from that meteor movie. It's how I feel about my children, believe it or not - I love them so much & I don't want to miss a thing - can't believe they're in my life, I'm blown away by how amazing they are & that song sums it up very well.  Great question - thanks!!!!

Are you looking for something popular, or a classical piece?\n\nIf you're looking for popular music, you might try something by Faith Hill, like "Breathe" or "Cry".  I'm not a country fan, but those are both fantastic songs.\n\nClassical it's a little hard to suggest, because I have no idea about your vocal range or your ability to read music.

Can I tell you what we did for my Grandfather which may be of help to you.  Like your Dad, he was the cornerstone of the family and didn't care much for gifts--but we did a very special thing for him which made it a wonderful occasion for him. I suggest you do this with a writable CD.  There used to be a television show called "This is Your Life...(fill in a name)" Where someone would be honored for their accomplishments and contributions throughout a life time, starting with family photos when the person was really young, working up through high school and college and then career.  Anything that would be important to that person as memories. During different phases, different people would talk from behind a curtain describing favorite memories until the guest of honor figured out who it was.  For our family, we had all his children telling little stories about favorite times together and tape recorded it, and worked it in with the slide show of photos.  It wasn't mushy, it was honoring.  I'll just be frank here, it's like a living memorial while the person is still alive.  As  a poem I read said:"If you have anything nice to say to me, tell it to me now while I can appreciate it, don't tell it to the cold unfeeling gravemarker, tell it to me now when I can bask in the warmth of sincere appreciation." Or words to that effect.  It is easier than ever to make multi-media CD's now or some photo shops will do it for you. You cazn even have music in the background from the 20's,30's and 40's.  It would mean so much to me to have my children put on CD words that they love me, and appreciate me as a father along with memories of happy times together.  It doesn't have to be a big production, and it would mean more than any store-bought gift whether it be $60 or $600. People like to think that they have accomplished something in their life time--it doesn't have to be anything major --infact for a man it can be just that he raised his family as best he could, went to work when he wasn't feeling well, saw his kids through heartaches and sorrows, joys and happy times and is appreciated for it and loved.  My Dad died when he was 62, and I have wished over and over that I had taken more time to say "Thanks Dad for being a great dad and all that you did for us kids and the family!"  I don't have that chance now. You do.  I know you will do that which is right.\n-Spec

Hey, Moon. Actually, I answered a similar question several months back, which you can access here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar508P_B4Wyt1zbNimNzmxXsy6IX?qid=1006032014570\n\nAnd I named some of my favourite '80s era bands even further back, which you can access here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmDmj_UH5dOiEe0KqohI_Dnsy6IX?qid=1006031200738\n\nI can recommend most or all of them very highly, especially the specific songs and artists on the first list. \n\nNow then, what is this particular song that you discovered weeks ago whilst reading one of your friend's lists of preferred music? Inquiring minds want to know! ;)

I grew up in the Midwest.  Bonanza was a favorite program the whole family watched.  But then, Johnny Cash would come through on his tours.  My grandparents remember Lorne Greene as the "Voice of Doom"  during the World War.  Greene went from the family favorite Bonanza to Adama in Battlestar Galactica.  And he also put out some records.  The only one I can remember right now was something called "Ringo" and I don't mean Star.   My son discovered Cash when Johnny sang his rendition of NIN's song "I Hurt Myself Today."  Johnny remade himself over several times, Madonna's not the only one doing that.  Johnny's producers thought he was a nut job when he wanted to tour prisons and almost dropped him.  They forgot that prisoners have families and when Folsom Prison Blues and other prison songs came out of his prison tours his records sold by word of mouth.   As he got older, Nashville unabashedly dropped him, and he and June started all over again under his own label.\n\nLorne Greene may have fought many a battle on the Ponderosa, but Johnny Cash fought his demons in real life and won the heart and soul of his fans.\n\nYup, I definitely KNOW Cash could kick @$$, but he'd do it quick and clean.

Hey, if she's making you thank God for women, then I say keep on listening!  Nothing at all wrong with it, my friend.  We all enjoy what we enjoy.  If I posted my most embarassing musical confessions, you'd all run from here laughing.  Besides, her part in The Blues Brothers is my favorite part.  So, keep it up.

Listening to it now ( jeepers!! It's been a long time since I played this CD.. ) Just by listening to it I couldn't really decide, I could definitely "see" your point, but it didn't really convince me..\n\nThen I thought to open up the cd cover and see whether the lyrics were printed inside.. They are, and according to the cover it's:\n "Who could be proud of this blank generation\nwho could be proud of you blank"\n\nListening to it after reading that and I definitely hear "you blank" every time...

This song is amazing, and actually very insightful.  People tend to take with them into adulthood the images of family that their parents have presented.  For some, this is a model of how life should be; for others, it is more of a glimpse into the kind of relationship they should avoid.  \n\nMy father was very intimidating; he used to yell and throw things.  For myself, I saw this as the kind of marriage I never wanted to have.  As a child I had no choice but to live in the environment into which I was born, but as an adult, I have made a conscious decision to stay away from men like this. \n\nI believe that women, no matter their relationship with their father, will take these experiences with them throughout their lives.

Go to Yahoo Groups and look through the groups with "banjo," "Bluegrass," or "Bill Monroe," in the title or content, each separately, and contact them!\n\nThen, go to elderly.com and perhaps call them, or just find the tab on the site.\n\nThen go to folkmusic.org and see what you can find.  Maybe folkmusic.com, also?\n\nThen ask the people (Jody & George) at pickinparlor.net.\n\nThese are good bluegrass sources.  Have you done a web search simply for the title of the song?  I'll bet that there's a good amount of Bill Monroe related websites where there are tabs for many tunes.  Look at drbanjo.com?\nMaybe it's doctorbanjo.com.  Maybe do a web search for him.  He's Pete Wernick, the famous bluegrass banjo player.\n\nHope this helps.  I would send you the tab, if I played bluegrass; I play old-time style banjo, and love bluegrass!\n- Matookie

Oooh... Blondie! She rocks. as well. Joss Stone (beautiful voice), Brandy, and if you're into looking up new music, you can check out Imogen Heap, and Fleming in John. Immi writes, plays and produces ALL of her own music (you MUST hear Hide and Seek), Fleming sings and helps write all, while John (her husband) produces. Anyways, good luck with your cd.

I have his CD and I thought it was a pretty good CD to listen to. My favorite song was Bad, Bad Man. I saw that video clip and I also thought that was good.
