The Man in Black: The Life of Johnny Cash:  Thursday, November 10th – The Lodge Ballroom

Born as John (J.R.) Cash to a poor cotton-farming family in Arkansas, he would strive for a deeper meaning in his music throughout his life—bringing to light the injustices, pain, and strife in the world. He received his trademarked nickname, “The Man in Black,” due to his somber attire of all black during his concerts. Historical Presenter, Michelle Gibbons, will take you into the life, love, struggles and stardom of Johnny Cash. Gibbons will discuss Cash’s famous albums and songs, including: “Folsom Prison Blues;” “I Walk the Line;” “Ring of Fire;” “Get Rhythm;” “Man in Black;” and more. She will also discuss Cash’s unconditional love for his wife, June Carter, and how their romantic undying love for each other and inspired the 2005 movie, Walk the Line.

Every month begins with coffee, breakfast pastries, and conversation at 9:30am. Program follows at 10:00am in the Ballroom. You must pre-register at the LBS Management Office. Cost is $5 / person.
