Old Time Country Hall Of Fame to Induct daughter of Johnny Cash!

2ND JOHNNY CASH DAUGHTER ENTERS 

AMERICA'S OLD TIME COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME

Kathy Cash the oldest daughter of the late Johnny Cash will be inducted into America's Old Time Country Music Hall of Fame on Saturday, September 3rd, on the main stage of the 36th annual "National Old Time Country, Bluegrass, and Folk Music Festival, and Pioneer Exposition of Arts, Crafts, and American Rural Lifestyle', in LeMars, Iowa. Aside from her very gifted country music talent, Kathy is also a gifted painter. One of her outstanding pieces is called "Night in White Satin."

In 2010, the National Traditional Country Music Association, inducted Johnny Cash's daugher, Cindy, into America's Old Time Country Music Hall of Fame. This year, they are inducting another Johnny Cash daughter, Kathleen Cash, into this very rural old-time music Hall of Fame. According to Bob Everhart, the President of the NTCMA, "Johnny Cash had four daughters before he married June Carter. In all the frenzy that inevitably swirls around celebrity, those four daughters have been somewhat overlooked by the country music community, even though they were working as hard as anyone else in keeping their dads memory alive, his music alive, and his persona alive. In 2007, for instance, it was Kathy Cash who accepted a pardon on her father's behalf during a pardoning ceremony in Starkville, Mississippi. Kathy was obviously moved by the sentiments of the folks in Starkville, "I'm touched by all the work you've done and appreciate the city of Starkville for taking the opportunity to honor Dad and make this into a positive festival called the Johnny Cash Flower Pickin' Festival."
