yeh and Folsam, gotta love that song breaker "man, u picked the wrong place to bend over!" lolll. RIP man, the only person im bothered about writing an RIP for,-
its a shame ppl/history dont quite realise that Johnny and ppl like him were also up there with Elvis in getting the ball rolling in the 50s despite leaning more towards country a lot of the time. he also managed to make Rusty Cage by soundgarden sound fantastic on acoustic and warmed the lyrics in a new way something covers usually lack, i salute you for such great work and givin us a moody/brooding/rugged/mean realism to music. forever indebted.

anyone believe that he submitted to his illness because of his wifes death in may or just think thats a touch of media-fantasy?

Guess the death of his wife earlier this year did not help his health & it has been known for someone to pass on not long after a loved one.

God bless you Jonny.
