onewilyfool Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The guitar he used for the last 30 years...... http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/PluckedStrings/Guitars/MartinGuitars/10770/10770MartinGuitar.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Do they stil make Brylcreem????? Probably yes. I once in connection with a 1950's film had my hair completely greased in with that stuff. A complete nitemare. Pardon - there might be original users on the Board. Let's hear pros and cons from you - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe his last guitar would be from the era that Martin enthusiasts dog when discussing the gems that preceded this time period. I never liked anything about JCash except for the 'mountain music' his wife's family created over the decades. He didn't play much guitar, his songs were generic, especially when he tried to be funny, and his voice was unexpressive and monotonic. If he scratched that lettering into the lower bout he was an idiot as well. Give me Lyle Lovett anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedzep Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Generic, , , what does it mean. And what does it mean when talking songs ?? OK...generic is the opposite of dynamic. Maybe I should have just used 'crappy'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdd707 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Pardon - there might be original users on the Board. Let's hear pros and cons from you - Ah yeah, back in high school Brylcreem was the thing that worked for ducktails and peaks (see Jimmy Rogers) ..."a little dab will do ya". We used by the tube full!

One Robert Zimmerman comes to mind. Sometimes, a memorable performer is more than the sum of his or her individual parts. JC was one of those, in my book.

I wasn't his last guitar ... it was a special onw for him but his real last guitar was this one : http://www.gruhn.com/features/cashproto/AA6928.html I guess he scratched and wrote on guitars because he figuered they were just songwriting tools . he wasn't too tecnical about guitars but I totally disagree with you about his voice . I don't think Lyle (great performer !) could do what Johnny did at the Prisons he played . no artist new or old ever played a a prison apart from Mr.Cash . so he was a much better human being than most Artist of the past or of the present. I think you sould have another listen to his music ... if you ever found yourself heartbroken or addicted to something than I am sure you can relate to his music. and as far as his voice alot of people who know about music praise it so give it another listen . He changed alot of peoples lives too . JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who thinks the Beatles are overrated/crap, because they sound like so many other pop bands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
