Thirty Years behind the Scenes with the Man in Black, Johnny Cash: "Music Became My Life" - Paperback

by Allen Laton (Author)

I'll be the first to tell anyone how blessed my life in music has been. How many can honestly say they met and became friends with their music idol? Very rare indeed! I had the blessing of meeting a legend in country music!

I met Johnny Cash for the first time in 1973. After the first night, I met Johnny Cash in Maryland before his show. I never dreamed.

A few weeks later, I would get a call from the man in black himself! We quickly became friends, and that friendship lasted until the day Johnny Cash died in 2003--thirty years of blessed friendship. Johnny Cash introduced me to so many music legends not only in country music but also in rock and roll and folk music. I am blessed to know the man in black and deeply thankful for his friendship.
