Great live performance of this classic!

Growing up I only had access to purely Christian music.

After joining the Navy and getting a phone I finally had access to a whole world of music and when I heard "Ring of Fire" something just clicked in my soul. I also found the song "Hurt" and others that I sat with and committed to memory.

Over the years I heard more and more songs sung by Jonny Cash and would sometimes put on an album of his if I was working on something or driving somewhere.

I recently made a road trip and the song "Monteagle Mountain" came on and it sparked something new.

I looked up this morning if he still went on tour, for the Google AI to inform me that he passed away.

For some reason I always imagined he was still with us, and it feels like he is with us in his recordings.

I know I'm late to the party but it just hits me for some reason.
