Johnny Cash Tribute Night

Often do I feel sorry for the musician and his labor of sweet heartfelt songs as certain tables of gathered peeps seek to drown him out... but that's the way the world works. My kids can tell you just as much. The singer did a fine anthology of Johnny's music sans a fill-in June. But his and Johnny's final song, "Hurt" didn't fully convey the sadness it deserved... due to the aforementioned. It's a song for loneliness anyway. And the insult of aging. "I hurt myself today to see if I still feel." https://youtu.be/vt1Pwfnh5pc
