Hey folks!! The Johnny Cash tribute was excellent last night. For the second year in a row, you guys were a highlight of my summer. I remember you saying Elston did the Johnny Cash thing. And to be honest, while I thought Elston made a great Elston...my own goofy musician ego was probably thinking something like "Geez if that guy is Johnny Cash...then I'm George Jones, Merle Haggard & a country music legend to be named later." LOL But damn he was AWESOME, spot on!! I was very impressed!! You were all great. And of course Terrie made a wonderful June Carter Cash. "Jackson" totally kicked my arse. My only regret is that we didn't drag along some friends & family who would have loved it. You guys are the best act Marysville has got us in the last couple years. And for what they charge for property taxes here, you'd think they could purchase Elvis, Johnny Cash & Beatle DNA...so we could clone our own versions. :D Seriously...FIVE STARS. Great Job!!
