Ring of Fire, Fellow.


I went to a museum that had everything in it that was all about the singer Johnny Cash. He was a singer and he also played the guitar. He was a very good singer and I do like his songs. Two that I like I Walk The Line and Ring of Fire. I saw some Sesame Street and Johnny Cash was on that show singing a song, Don’t Take Your Ones to Town and it was about Big Bird and the number 1.
I learned that a lot of people like Johnny Cash’s songs and have done something with his songs called covering. If you cover someone else’s song it means that you sang their song but didn’t steal the song from them. It’s like being a copycat but it’s nice, not mean. I listened to 15 different singers sing I Walk The Line and about 10 who sang Ring of Fire. Mama read a sign to me that said over 150 singers covered that song. People were waiting to get to one of the three spots where you can listen with the headphones but I’d had to wait my turn so Mama said it was okay to just listen until I had heard all of what I wanted to hear. Most people only listened for a little bit before they walked on to the next thing anyway.


I saw Johnny Cash’s guitars, clothes, papers, records, and photographs.


 I also got to see a movie about him singing for the people who were in the prison. He sang for the prisoners in Folsom Prison and San Quentin Prison and I have never been to those prisons but I have been in the towns where the prisons are. 


The people who work in this museum say “you can get your picture made” instead of saying “you can get your picture taken” and that is different to me. 
When I had my picture made, the man called me a fellow. I am not a fellow because a fellow means a man or a boy.  I wore a pants and a tank top today and they both have fringe on them and I know boys probably might like fringe too because it moves all around if you run or hop or dance. If I wore a dress he probably would not have called me fellow but anyone can wear anything they want to wear and it does not matter if you are a boy or a girl. But I didn’t learn that today. I already knew that for a long time.  

One thought on “Ring of Fire, Fellow.
