It’s a time machine.” Robert Nash, Executive Director of the Cultural Center of Cape Cod says “I loved every minute of it. It was so believable I thought I was listening to Johnny Cash.” Rebecca Newton, Director of the Carolina Theatre of Durham says: “From the time he takes the first step on the stage to the last word and gesture of his show, David commands the stage and honors Johnny Cash with all the respect Mr. Cash deserves.” And Jackie Cash, Johnny Cash’s niece, says “Oh my Lord!
