Song of the day for July 5, 2024

On this day in 2003, country icon Johnny Cash played his final concert – a 30-minute set at the Carter Family Fold in VA. During the performance, which featured classics like “Folsom Prison Blues” and “I Walk The Line,” the 71-year-old artist paid tribute to his late wife, singer-songwriter June Carter Cash, who had passed away weeks earlier. “We connect somewhere between here and Heaven,” he said. “She came down for a short visit, I guess, from Heaven to visit with me tonight to give me courage and inspiration like she always has.” Cash passed away less than two months later.
