Hello All!! Due to this wacky roller coaster of a ride that I jumped on, I fell off the blog hoarse. But I am trying to get back on so strap on your boots! I have landed in Nashville, TN with my lovely band and lovely lady, and we are excited to be here. We have been lucky enough to explore Nashville a little this month and are really falling in love with it. We have gotten to see a lot of great music and meet a lot of great people. We actually live right down the street from the famous Cash cabin. (No, it is not owned by Johnny Knoxville. Maybe he owns his vacation home or something, but definitely not the famous recording cabin.) Anyway, I wanted to focus on the famous drummer of the Tennessee 3. Johnny Cash' famous rhythm section. Check out this 1965 version of Big River. It highlights W.S. Holland's classic country shuffle. I call it the "Cash Cow". :-) "and-a-1, and-a-2,and-a-3, and-a-4," with the brushes through the whole song. Simple is powerful. Check out W.S. Holland Wiki here. Thanks all!! Happy Thursday. Fall is in the air!
