"The Man Who Carried Cash" a Book about Johnny Cash Review/ Giveaway

The Man Who Carried Cash cover

  I just finished reading the wonderfully, informative book, " The Man Who Carried Cash", by Julie Chadwick and it was so good!  I did not want to finish the book because I didn't want the story to come to an end.  I am a huge Johnny Cash fan and this book told so much more about the man, how his career and life really happened than any I had seen or read.  I have seen movies about Mr. Cash's life and the movies didn't completely tell the whole story and the time line's didn't match.
  This biography book about Johnny Cash is based on actual videos, recordings and calendar times of happening that were written when and where they took place.  Jonathan Holiff  is the son of Saul Holiff who was Johnny's manager and side-by-side companion for 13 years.

Glen Campbell - "I'll Be Me" Movie 5 Song EP Soundtrack Giveaway



   Glen Campbell is one of the best known country artists ever known.  In 2011, Glen was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.  Glen and his wife Kim decided to let the world know about this devastating illness, so together they did one last tour.  From the makers of "I Walk The Line",   " I'll Be Me" was filmed during the remarkable, unscheduled 151 shows tour.
   In this movie you will see how Glen refuses to give up on music and his fans.  The film features those who know and love Glen, including Bruce Springsteen, Bill Clinton, The Edge, Paul McCartney, Jay Leno, Vince Gill, Jimmy Webb, Blake Shelton, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Steve Martin, Chad Smith and Taylor Swift among many others.  Rare vintage footage and extraordinary new performances of Glen’s most beloved hits immerse this moving cinematic account in the overwhelming talent of this humble family man.  With joy and a tireless sense of humor, Glen and his family live each moment in the present while preparing for the future, all while playing their music to sold out venues on a star spangled voyage spanning the country from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl.
