He is around. The last I herd he got on his Coast Guard boat and left Seattle a few days before his birthday, went to Alaska for three weeks, while he was there his boat rescued a disabled ship that the Canadians were trying to tow, but couldn’t. Dropped the broken ship off in Sitka, went to Kodiak twice, and flew out of Dutch Harbor on May 13th had a layover in Anchorage forever and made it back to Seattle so he could begin to move his family cross country to the Midwest. Got trapped by snow in Idaho and western Montana in June, and then delayed by floodwaters in Minnesota and Iowa finely, after fifteen days on the road arrived at his new house only to find the previous owner still there. Put all his stuff in storage and spent twelve days sleeping on his friends living room floor. Finely got moved in to his new house and started work a few days ago on one of the Great Lakes. But, that’s just what I’ve heard.

WOW!!

Whoever you are do you sell franchises to your spy net work?? That's a pretty good accounting of the poor soul's movements!!

Do you know if the wife and kids made it with him, or did they somehow wind up hostages to the ferry boat guys, singing dixie as they crossed the flood waters??

You must have all this secret information so then have channels to funnel secret code words & stuff for his secret decoder ring to unravell.

Pass alomg the word that there are those who are glad he's fine and getting settled, hoist a cool one after the sun goes down, not you, you spy!!! Exnavycg!!

exnavycg:--- Well howdy, as they say in the Westerns! Last I heard from you was when I posted some info for you to read, and you had said that your ship didn't have a Chaplain onboard, but 3 lay leaders...if memory serves.

Well, If you are stationed around the Great Lakes, you will have access to several big towns with libraries that you can read things at. Hope it works out for you, and yours.

Yaa know,,,with a story like the one you posted above, you need to buy one of those steel guitars and learn to sing with a "twang" and you could have a hit country tune...

You mean ... like this?

Great Link/video! It's hard to beat Johnny.

Yaa know, actually I've always liked to hear him over the years primarily because he didn't have that "twang" and/or the sequins on the clothing. Also, he was married to the same woman for many years.

I was thinking more along the lines of the bunches of country songs that usually involve drinkin' al ke haul in order to find your lost: dog/pick-em-up truck/woman/farm/money/more al ke haul...yee haa.

You left out "mama" and "prison" .

You guys might get a chuckle out of this.

I have mentioned that I was an entertainer for quite awhile. Well one of the first songs I recorded was an old John Cash tune called I still miss someone. From his second album 1958. I was just a kid, but I liked that song all of my life.

Here at the Cape Cod Melody tent in 83 I asked him if I could cut it. He told me yeah, but be ready to pay big bucks for it. I asked how much and he smiled and said send him a copy when it was pressed and released.

I sent him five. When we went to Nashville in 84 it was still on the charts it had gone to #26 in the independant label top thirty the "b" side was a song I wrote and it hit #30 even, out west of the Mississippi at the same time.

The John Cash Museum is pretty well gone now but for years two copies of that record hung on the wall there, I was always kind of proud of that. And yes , he was everything everybody thought he was, a kinder man I never met. When we played the Bell Cove Club we were a quarter of a mile from his house in Hendersonville Tenn. What a rush when his production manager came to see us play and stayed all night!!

Good memories those!!

Welllll, since you mentioned "Mama", I remembered this from my youth when he had a TV show. "How high's the water Mama?" Check out this link...all of you who like trips down memory lane. On this same link he and his band are doing the theme from the show "Bonanza"...I never knew there were words to that tune...

I'm way off topic here but since I started the thread...and exnavycg is still above sea level...carry on. Johnny married into a family that sang many gospel/biblical tunes. The Carter's had talent.

I have tried to write some songs in the past, I guess Toby Keith got a late start, but I’m a lot older than him when he got to be famous. The town I live in has 843 people in it, but it does have a library. I have been to some big cities though in the last couple of weeks, but nothing as big as Seattle.

Oh yes, wife and kids made it some what ok. They got lost for a while by following the wrong U-haul. Lots of them on the road, but most of them were going west.

What !!?? You didn't tell them yours was the one with the connestoga wagon top heading east ??? If I was your wife, I would have some questions for you!!

In fact, if I was your wife, I think I would have quite a few questions for BOTH of us!!

Get settled and be well friend!! Bruce
