Johnnycash_childrensalbum Nathan and Lucie are big fans of the Man in Black. So for Christmas, I got them The Johnny Cash Children’s Album. I recently loaded it on the computer so I could copy it for Nathan’s use. Since he’s only six and is really bad about putting his CDs away, we make him copies of music he likes. This way, if he scratches the copy, it’s no big deal. We have the original safe in it’s case, and the music stored in the computer as a back up.

I started listening to The Johnny Cash Children’s Album and liked it more than the kids did. Unlike his gospel stuff, it’s not cheesy at all. The songs are really quite nice, especially his duet with June Carter Cash called, "I Got a Boy And His Name Is John."

This got me thinking about Johnny’s appearances on Sesame Street. I had heard he was on the program, but after doing a search on YouTube, I found out that he was on twice - once in the ’70s and once in the ’80s or ’90s. (YouTube is a great resource if you’re looking for old Sesame Street spots. I especially like the one when Robert DeNiro explains acting to Elmo and turns into a cabbage.)

Hmmmm I had never thought about the children’s album. I think I will order it.

Michelle has become an unexpected Johnny Cash fan and I think she will enjoy this.

I should get her to let me video tape her playing cash songs. I think people would find it amusing. (I’ll wait til she colors her hair pink and green again though!)

By the way, this book loop thing is troubling. Everytime I come here I am tempted to click on some book or another and then that causes me to want to order more books. Very dangerous.
