TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY CASH AT
GRANDPA'S GARAGE |
|
June 9, 2009 - (Tuesday)
If you liked Johnny Cash music,
you will love this show. Performed by Bob Wootton, "the man behind the man in
black", he played lead guitar for Johnny Cash from 1968 to 1998 (30 years). Wootton
appeared with Cash at prisons, the White House, and before the Queen of England. He played
through the last public tour in 1998. After swearing to never play music again, Wootton
had a change of heart in January 2004 and has played to sold-out crowds ever since. Few
people know Johnny Cash and his music as closely as Wootton does. A buffet is included.
