Heard an old clip on the radio talking about Johnny playing Dublin...
"I wanted to tell Johnny Cash how much he had helped me during the time that my own life was completely off the rails ....I saw a billboard. Johnny Cash at the Olympia.
I knocked on the stage door a the side of the theatre and the little security window opened. "There ye are Pat" said a man, the door opened and in I went. Luckily for me, a lot of people in Dublin know me and suddenly I was backstage. ...
Suddenly, there he was, coming down the stairs, black frock coat, white ruffled, shirt, magnificent Mount Rushmore chiselled face ...I stepped out in front of him and told him how much his example had helped me ... he said "Are you coming to the show?" and I said "No.. I haven't got a ticket, and anyway I came in through the back." Any other world star in that situation would have had me thrown out straight away, and rightly so....
"Get Pat a chair and he can sit in the wings" said Johnny Cash and suddenly, there I was with a ringside view, the best seat in the house and all of my favourite songs coming to life before me.
.
I had been in the presence of a great man, a truly caring human being without any of the airs and graces and arrogances of so-called stars and minor talents...."

"The American singer-songwriter David Olney has died on stage during a performance at a festival in Florida.
The 71-year-old was mid-song when he apologised, closed his eyes and fell silent, two musicians who were performing alongside him said.
He suffered an apparent heart attack during the show in Santa Rosa Beach on Saturday night, a statement said.
Olney was a key member of Nashville's music scene and his songs were recorded by a number of country and folk stars...."
